Section 23 - Material Specifications - of Harold Hall's Metalworker's Data Book (Workshop Practice Series No.42) might be helpful for this thread.

Talking to Anthony Mount at a ME Exhibition about this very topic, he recommended this one.

Could that be Kermit Weeks? See here
 
Can someone help? I always understood that the Canberra bomber was powered by Rolls Royce Avon engines. Was there an occasion when one was specially fitted with Olympus engines, maybe for a high altitude attempt. When? Which marque of Olympus? Was this the pre-decessor of the Olympus that powered the Concorde?

Unless your desperate to make, Warco product no. 8986-Vice brake might help. Available in 4, 5 and 6" widths. Usual disclaimer.

John,
I've conjured an image in my mind of you swinging a pocket watch upon its chain and making it pop into your waistcoat pocket at the end of one of its swings.
Now let me see, was it the moustachioed comedian Jimmy Edwards who did that?
There must be someone here who is as old as I am!!!!!

How nice to see something being properly made by hand, BUT they still only tell the same time as a cheap watch that you throw away when the battery runs out!
Having read most of your 585 posts KWIL, I have developed a great respect for your abilities/expertise in this hobby of ours.
Are you being deliberately and mischievously provocative here? Surely the issues here are those of craftsmanship and quality and I'm guessing that you hold those extremely highly.
Thread: Harrisons gearing and friction.

It's possible that a very scholarly book I've recently encountered may be of assistance to you:
John Harrison's Contrivance by Stuart Harrison published by Fionchra Press, Cedar House, Orford, Suffolk, IP12 2NQ. ISBN 978-184426-773-6. I don't believe there is any familial connection between the author and the subject of the book.

VMware Fusion is the way to go to run Windows on a Mac.
Thread: Ball Turning
19/01/2011 11:03:45
Thanks for the image and the encouraging words Norman.  I agree with you entirely, I'm not in the hobby to make the tooling to make the items I want to make, life is too short, at least, from my perspective.  Besides which, I suspect the cost of materials inclusive of the tip would probably be half as much as the ready-made tool from RDG (usual disclaimer).  No contest!!
19/01/2011 09:32:17
Has anyone experience of using the Ball Turning Attachment for Myford lathes and, apparently, based on the Bedair design as sold by RDG Tools for about £45?
Thread: Which Cutter Grinder?

Mike Haughton has articles in issues 148 to 151 inclusive of MEW about the Clarkson tool and cutter grinder.

With regard to the splendid illustrations in the Eagle, the Eagle Annual of the Cutaways is still available on Amazon.
Thread: Footplate Experience Recommendations
28/12/2010 12:23:10
My footplate experience at the Gwili Railway was a resounding success.  The Gwili is a small society and very friendly.  The day included exposure to signalling and guards duties.  The scenery is outstanding and we found a luxurious farmhouse B&B within sound and, almost, sight of the railway.  Probably just about within your distance requirements. Unforgettable.
Thread: Orrery?
15/12/2010 12:58:29
I'm pretty sure that there was an all brass orrery to be seen at the recent Sandown show on one of the club stands upstairs.  It appeared to be about 300mm tall and maybe unfinished.
Perhaps David (editor) would have more precise information.

Thread: levelling

I am sure that these rubber levelling mounts were made for gullible model engineers, they defeat the object of levelling.

 
 A plate with a dimple in onto the floor, a pointed adjusting screw into the dimple in the plate .

 I remember those plates but the ones I encountered had ribbed rubber bonded to the underside!!  Mind you, they were used under Boxfords and Bantams, scarcely 65feet long and they could only have been used for fairly small flywheels!!   Noise was an issue in that particular environment.
