Hi Marcus,
Here, you can find a few pictures of the height gauge I made last year:
Cheap indeed: now and then these digital calipers are here in the shops for about 9 Euros. No Mitutoyo, but good enough for me!
Regards from The Netherlands and success with your conversion,

Hi Doug & John,
I had a look on this site for "foliot":

Thread: Keneddy hacksaw | |||||||||||||||||||||
22/01/2010 22:26:12 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Dear all,
I am also a happy owner of such a small Kennedy power hacksaw.
![]() But my machine has a V-belt.
See picture on my homepage: http://home.kpn.nl/gep2/Sub-pagina's/Machines.htm
(klick on picture for larger photo.)
And elsewhere on the Web, I found another specimen that uses a toothed (timer?) belt. See: http://www.lathes.co.uk/advertphoto/090822kennedy/
That page also contains, unfortunately bad quality, copies of a brochure plus the first page of the (maintenance) instructions. So probably, there has been a manual.
Unfortunately, I do not have any maintenance/operating instructions.
![]() Although the operation and maintenance are straight forward, it would be nice to have my machine "complete".
Therefore my question:
Does anybody have the complete operating/maintenance instructions and can provide a scan? Thanks in advance !
![]() ![]() Furthermore, I added an automatic switch-off to my machine. Very convenient!
As this is at the back of the machine; you can not see it on the picture.
But, if anybody is interested, I can add an extra picture.
Best regards from The Netherlands,
Gep

Hi all,
A few more online engineering courses and related online "books": A very good “book” on the Internet (HTML) from the site of Chris Heapy: This book is on "The Model Engineering Support Page" Unfortunately, this very good site disappeared some time ago, but the good news is that this mirror still exists.
An old American book published in 1868:
Another old American book, in 2 Parts, published 1887 - 1888. Although the word “modern” is out of date, the old engravings are superb! Modern Machine Shop Practice Vol. 1 (PDF) Modern Machine Shop Practice Vol. 2 (PDF) The Virtual Machine Shop (HTML) The Brazing Book Online (HTML) Best regards from The Netherlands,

Hi Gep
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have no Dutch speaking friends but Keithmart has suggested that I try to find a translation service via Google. It can do no harm to try that...who knows, if the translation is not as good as it should be I might end up making a windmill instead of a clock!!
Keep posting the pictures of your clock as you progress with it. Is there any chance of putting a video of it running onto Youtube so we can see it working?
Regards, Martin. Hi Martin,
Sorry for the late response. This summer, I had a breakdown of my computer.
I bought a new one and was condemned to Windows Vista.
![]() So it took sume time until (most of) my software was running again.
In the meantime, my foliot clock is fully functional.
![]() Today, I edited and uploaded a short videoclip of this clock.
or my home page: http://home.hetnet.nl/~gep2/Sub-pagina's/Klok.htm
Furthermore, I did some research on the WEB and found that the drawings I used, may be based on one of the following books in English language:
and
Keep us informed when you indeed build one yourself!
Good luck and best regards,
Gep

Hi Martin,
Here, you can find a translation service: For my work, I occasionally used this service (since a few month I am retired). But be warned: do not expect really good results. But it is good enough to get an idea.
Regards from the country of windmills, wooden shoes, and tulips,
Gep Home page: http://home.tiscali.nl/gepengler/index.html (should be updated; pictures are old!)
For the fun, I used this service to translate my original text above from English to Dutch and than back to English. The result is like English manuals of Chinese electronics Hello Martin, here, can find you vertaaldienst: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ for my work, now used I and then this service (since a couple month I have been withdrawn). But it is warned: expect really no good results. But get it is well enough an idea. Regard of the country of wind mills, wooden shoes, and tulips, Gep Homepage: http://home.tiscali.nl/gepengler/index.html (would have be updated; the pictures are old!) |
