I remember going to Skinningrove rolling mill with about forty other nine year olds in the mid forties.We were staying at Staithes on school holiday Imagine today a group of youngsters on the rolling mill floor watching them making railway rails, no hard hats or safety boots Happy days (and they were) Roy When the local school children came to Bilston Steel Works spotting the yellow hard hats the rolling mill crew would always put on a display for them the 40" mill being the best as the ingot approached the rolls the ingot skin was termed 'wet' so the crew would squeeze the rolls tighter than normal so as the ingot entered the rolls there was a spectacular display as the outer skin of the ingot exploded up into the roof.

It's a good job this political thread's subject was not about Brexit and it's consequences or it would have been shut down in very short order. I can only assume that I have been incorrect in my thinking that the application of justice is a political issue and is not subject to political debate and opinion otherwise it would not have been allowed to be raised on this model engineering forum. Chris are you really suggesting we only discuss model engineering on this forum ? H |

A news story local to me makes one wonder what this man was doing in open prison H A drug dealer who became the first to be convicted of trafficking children under new modern slavery laws has absconded from an open prison. Derbyshire Police said Zakaria Mohammed was found to be missing from HMP Sudbury on 11 November. Mohammed is serving 14 years after trafficking teenagers to sell heroin and crack cocaine through his network. |

NOS = returned I know when you return an item you are supposed to include all packaging, but for someone to reapply the manufacturer's protective grease (the OP states he has stripped and cleaned the item) before returning it seems to me to be going to the extreme. ..if it went to a works / trade customer with two of each set of jaws binding in the same slots it probably would have gone straight back home still a virgin..?
Exactly, where I worked anything new was physically checked for compliance with the purchase spec by goods inwards quality. They would have found the jaws too stiff and bounced the chuck back to the supplier in the same condition that it came in. It goes on back a different shelf at the supplier till Fred who put it there retires and the stock gets computerised etc etc My daughter who is no longer in the job worked in goods inwards quality control was one day summoned to the Head Buyer's office and told she was rejecting to much incoming goods from company 'X' and they were threatening to increase their prices. My Daughter asked if he hand discussed this with the MD to which he replied No she then suggested he should also reminding him that the MD was her boss not the buyer. Later that day the MD popped into her office and told her to keep inspecting company 'X' good the smae as she had been doing H

Without wishing to decry any of the suggestions above I would suggest the route to least aggravation is to buy a new tablet. Then relieve your frustration by disassembling the old one with a hammer. I do confess to hating anything containing a computer chip! Thanks everyone but thinking Sakura solution is the one for me H |

Thanks John will give that a try later it only ever connect to wifi and just been on charge. H |
