One final tidbit - it's 50 years ago this month since I left Anderton's and headed 'downunder'.

Ian whoever - I can remember the elements I used to analyse in the EN42J mild steel, beryllium copper and stainless steel, and in the order in which they were recorded in the book:

C, Si, S, P, Mn. Ni Cr, Cu, Mo and (I think) W

As this conversation is only vaguely related to this site it may be good manners to continue on email - you can find me at:

But - who are you - give me a clue!

No neck - Mick Chaney??

As for the Ford Consul - me and a mate were going to the Monday night dance at Bradford's Mecca Ballroom when I spun the car several times and hit a steel lamppost - split the car completely in two - we were still sat in the front 1/2 and the back 1/2 was several meters away - we didn't get to the Mecca!!!

The molten salt bath was great fun in the lab - we used to squirt meths on it when folk walked through the door and it would burst into flames - scared the poop out of them - probably not a great idea!!

Don't know anything about the Ellison scam.

Best job I ever had was at Anderton Springs.

Cheers all.

Hello, I found this discussion of circlips while trying to find info regarding Anderton Springs. I worked as a trainee metallurgist under Bryan Waterhouse at the Bingley facility from '63 to 66 before emigrating to Oz. I know this has nothing to do with the discussion but - Ian, would I know you?
