Duncan,

I was installing a robot many moons ago on an Injection moulder and when I powered it up I accidently pressed the language button which immediately turned everything on the screen to japanese, I only had an english manual and had to contact my japanese collegues to tell me how to get it back to english. The R in the round makes me think its a register mark refering to the square of characters on its left, do you have multi lingual instructions that you can look at to see if there is some way of getting it back to english.

Is that a model of Greene King 841, I'm just curious if it was the green that the Greene King Brewery used on their signs and wether there was a connection with the Brewery.

+1 for this, I recently acquired a tractor and trailer for my 14 month old grandson and the stickers on them have come off, his name is Oliver and there was a company who built tractors called Oliver so I'm making new transfers for the tractor, I've already made names for his drinking bottles at Nursery which worked out well.

Just out of curiousity what are the benefits of a rear tool post, I would have to extend my cross slide as it wouldnt be long enough and I couldnt use the power feed unless I could turn towards the tailstock.

I have started to make a foot operated sprung latch to keep our back door open during this warm session, its now on hold as I dont have any M5 countersunk screws so onto my second project and I'm making an adjustable traverse axis stop with a half inch micrometer barrel for fine adjustment on my lathe but that also came to a stop as I dont have any M5 countersunks for that either, I will ring around tomorrow to see what I can get.

A Lysander passed over at 13:05 heading towards Old Warden Museum, about four miles from me, so I assume it was theirs up for a test flight.

many many years ago, when the BBC computer came out I became an asssistant to a noise engineer from Lucas Acton to see if we could design and build a system to detect bearing failures in our UVA internal bore grinders which were grinding the 6mm dia bores of the fuel injector bodies, the current method was a visual check of the bores as finish deteriated as the spindle started to fail and when you had thirty machines grinding the bores a lot of work could be lost before it was detected, sensors were fitted to the spindles and the information was fed back to the BBC computer for analysis, the software was written by the engineer I assisted, we spent months running tests on brand new spindles to determine a base line and then monitoring the actual machines to give us information to say that a spindle needed to be changed, it proved a very interesting and successful exercise, when I moved onto another job it was being looked at to fit to other types of machines.

Around 17:00 had a Spitfire/Hurricane pass well north of us heading east, it was quite high, obviously up for an air test.

Or Vicky

When I was working I worked for a company who made large industrial washing machines, side the control cabinet there are two VFD's driving large water pumps that needed to have speed control, because these machines sometimes had to go into already constructed building they came in parts big enough to go through standard doors, when I was let loose on building one of these machines I had problems with the VFD's and other control systems so I contacted our Italian masters and explained the problems, there response was have you connected both ends of the screening on the motor and VFD, answer yes, disconnect the motor end, all the issues disapeared.

Depends if he has created an American Phantom, they carried a chin under the radar, the 74 sqn F4J's and FGR2's didnt.

Andrew,

I wondered why the skys were busy this weekend, Shuttleworth were testing a radial engined biplane yesterday most likely the Gladiator but it was two far away to be sure.
