Is the pulley secured with a grub screw? If so, it's definitely worthwhile completely removing the screw and checking for a second one underneath it.

Hi Diane

Yes, 1969 was the first and 1970 was the second.

So, following your list, 1978 was the tenth and 1998 was the thirtieth.

However, as Paul rightly said, 2001 was cancelled due to foot & mouth.

Therefore 2009 was the fortieth and 2019 will be the fiftieth.

Hopefully I've got that right...

Hi Paul

I think you're right, IMLEC 50 will be in 2019.

If as Roger mentioned, it included all issues from no.1 to the present day, then I think £50 would be a good price. Bearing in mind that would be nearly 250 issues, or just over 20p per issue.

"A putting on tool will replace metal you have removed by mistake, Neil needs one more than most"

So that explains why Southam started off as a 7 1/4" gauge design, and ended up 3 1/2" gauge!...

Chronos seem to be doing a BA screw pitch gauge:

Great idea Neil!

I'd also be interested in a DVD

There is also the Manchester Model Engineering Exhibition, to be held next year on 18th-19th February at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Oldham.

Hi Ketan

Many thanks for that

Yes, ME 4543 arrived fine on Friday 16th. My replacement copy of ME 4542 arrived the day after on Saturday 17th, while I was enjoying myself at the Brooklands show.

No problems with MEW 246 which arrived on Saturday 10th. I now have two catalogues, so the spare one is going up to the club for everyone there to peruse!

Kind regards

David

Surely if only making the one ring, you don't need a full length ring triblet, you could use a Stub Mandrel...

Hi Ketan

My postcode is SP10 Andover

Received MEW246 last Saturday. Excellent catalogue Ketan, lots of tempting goodies!

Still waiting for ME4542 and 4543 though.

David

No sign of my subscription paper copy of 4542 either, over a week late now. Could someone let us know what is happening please?

Many thanks

David

Hi Tim

For lots of information on Boxford machines, you could try joining the Boxford Yahoo Group. **LINK**

I'm a member myself, they're a very helpful and friendly bunch of guys.

I too would like to say congratulations to Diane and your team for an excellent ME 4470.

I found the two technical articles to be most interesting and informative. After all, that is why I buy Model Engineer, to learn something! Any information that helps me become better at model engineering is most welcome on my part.

Regarding the article on boiler design; Like many others, I never expect to design a boiler, but would be most interested in reading that and other future technical articles. Definitely the way to go!
