Before I fitted my S7 with a VDF I used one of these without any problem

In this photo of my 3" the pump clack valve can clearly be seen just to the left of the flywheel

​Not a lamp holder but one for our younger members a 5 Amp 3 pin plug, not no fuse or cord clamp 2 of the terminal screws have long been lost the last time I used one of these was March 1966

Your reference to 'safe disposal ' brought a smile to my face in the 70's I worked with induction heating equipment the older models were 'valve sets' one the valves within the machine was the size of a goldfish bowl and contained beryllium copper. When the valve failed I simply purchased a new one the failed one was taken back in part exchange however this practice stopped and I was stuck with a valve I phoned the local council who told me I couldn't dispose of it I would need a specialised company to deal with it's safe disposal and to do that the best quote I had was £1200.00 !!!

If your building the 1" Minnie it may be worth your trying to get hold of L.E.Mason's book on building the engine in which he explains how he di it and it's my understanding that he only used a lathe and drill .

Remind's me of when I worked in a steel works the 'Roller' the guy who measured the hot steel on the mill floor had the largest pair of outside calipers I have ever seen when closed from top to tips had to be 36" !

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all, from time to time computer related posts are raised so I got to wonder if members had any suggestion on what software to use. I currently use Serif Webplus X8 and is now discontinued and yes I understand it's not is going to grind to a halt but I,m thinking what other software is out there?

I'm far from an expert but I maintain a website for the club www.blackcountrysteam.co.uk and would not want anything complicated or expensive, as apart from the hosting and domain registration fee's everything else comes out of my pocket! So I would just like to have a look at alternative software.

Cheers
