I've been goofing about and working most of the weekend but done a couple of things, getting bits and bobs

It's going to take a while

I've found a couple of rare photos of a proper Drummond setup

Getting the detail of these old units can give you ideas of your own

From Pocketmags FAQs:

pocketmags.com/help-and-faqs/help/1000/1043/can-i-read-offline

By the way, anyone with a current digital subscription can view and print their subscription copies using pocketmags.

Neil

Is that a page by page or full magazine print?

I to have been having digital app woes AGAIN, crashing on starting, slow to load in Pocketmags, slow to locate in Pocketmags, then yep slow to load the mags I have in My Library. No matter if its on PC or tablet. When the crash box lol not synchro obviously gives me option to notify I type "Fix the bloody thing".

Now from what i have been informed in the past all 3 app's ME, MEW & P/Mags are all the same utter BS as they run sepperate and Pocketmags is full of add's for other mags on font page. Ok so background etc is/maybe. So if Pocketmags reader can read all magazine why can't we have one reader app for ME & MEW of the other verity?

On top of this my snail mail mags have all come within 2 weeks 4 ME and 2 MEW yep can blame local post, international post even distributors will never now for sure who's fault it is.

Kinda goes with the innovative modification to the main spindle arrangement.

... looks like all the important bits are there though; so hopefully, Raymond can restore it to something like its former glory.

MichaelG.

Thanks Michael. I hope to and with some assistance from an neighbour who's ex-machinist from Port Kembla who's eyes opened wide when I showed him it. Then when i asked if he'd be prepared to assist in it's restoration they opened even wider I took it as a yes LOL.

I had a scar when I was running it as smoke emitted from the motor seems it was over oiled as it has two oil cups 2nd start a few days latter no smoke thank goodness.

It now sits out of the way where temptation isn't so strong to make a start, I have a number of woodworking commission jobs to complete first as well as a few "Get er Done" things.

I will have to contact Tony from Lathe.co.uk as I can not find any other material manuals etc on the machines.

Ray

the birth of both my sons.

Followed very closely by the pure , trusting gaze of my faithful dog.

The view from the White Horse above Thirsk on summers morning through the mist takes some beating too.

Ian

I've only got some 'recent' advertising stuff that relates to the BCA MkIII. But Tony's website has some more information, plus manuals.

OK, no more sympathy from me.

I have to cope with 2.7 MB/S

Sorry Neil I didn' t know i was getting sympathy at all LOL

this mornings speed test as being on ADSL2 its far slower than what the new NBN will be.

Not quite a safe assumption, I think it's more likely the Firefox cache is corrupt than a user setting is misconfigured. (Apologies if you meant 'setting' in the broadest sense, which would include cached system settings.)

Four possibilities:

• the browser itself is responsible (very unlikely);
• a browser configuration setting is wrong (unlikely);
• the browsers cache of remembered working parameters, cookies etc, is corrupt, accidentally or by malware (possible);
• or it's something completely different, like a Router fault, (also possible).

Edge, Chrome and Firefox etc. each have their own cache so using a different Browser also uses a different configuration and memory. Depending on the cause, especially if malware is the root, they may become corrupted too.

One example how a bad cache causes this sort of problem. When a Browser connects to a server it sends a mass of information about the client, like the browser name, operating system, available plugins and versions thereof. The server uses the information to adapt web pages to the user device, which could be a Mac, or a SmartPhone, or a PC. Either the server or the client can bail out when an inconsistency is found, or results are undefined. (In computer-speak an 'undefined result' can be anything between apparently normal operation and a crash - all bets are off.)

Frequently used information is often cached to improve performance. It can be remembered between sessions and reboots. If an upgrade is applied and the cache isn't updated correctly, then the resulting mismatch between client and server is liable to cause peculiar errors. Completely emptying the cache forces the Browser to repopulate it from scratch, with luck fixing the weirdness. In the other thread I provided a link to a site explaining how to clear Firefox's cache. It's worth trying. As is powering off the router for at least 20 minutes, which should force it to refresh as well.

Raymond has hinted he may not have a fast Internet Service with no-download limit. As I know to my cost upgrades that misfire due to network problems cause havoc.

Dave

Dave all cache are set to clear out on shut down and I had done a full clear out not long ago myself. This leads me to consider if the cach has been cleared at my end the serve is not then recognising what it needs to? Or the updates of all and sundry have caused a hick up as so often happens in one week Microsoft, Firefox, Adobe Reader (Not Flash) a couple of other products.

Thanks Dave re browser cache.

One thing I have considered in all this is in our area atm is the instal of whats known here as NBN the latest greatest, fast internet cabeling RRFLMAO. This is to the Node I am furthest house away still using copper not fibre optic and still on ADSL2. Those who do have NBN are complaining about drop outs, speed as slow as snails race and more.

Dave the fact server cache also become corrupt I have found in the past also causes major problem anything from sign in to being able to view uploaded files by individuals. Server updates, server Re-sets, server memory faults, server router faults.
Add to that software updates across the world poorly written software, app's etc etc and I do include Firefox which I have been using since it was originally Netscape.

ISP speed check during these last few days resulted in 13mbps tops download far worse for upload. The new NBN I should get top of 50mbps.

I freaked out when I saw my daughter down in Sydney is getting 1000mbps and she's in a rural area I wish is all i can say. In the whole are top speed here is 100mbps and were are a city with in 40 mins of Brisbane.

In that case, Raymond I'm totally lost. As far as I was aware, the online viewer for the archives was/is a Flash application and needed a Flash viewer to open them. If you've been looking at them for two years without using Flash, then that must be wrong. So why are you trying (unsuccessfully) to use Flash now?
