1186 forum posts 11 photos | Would it be possible to download and archive the sound clip on the Stub Mandrel website? Until you made the video, the only place it could be found was on the http://www.neme-s.org/ website, and it is not currently to linked on that site. Try and find it yourself on neme-s. It was only the excellent tip off in the other thread, pointing to its original mention in a further old thread that lead to it seeing the light of day. Things on the net are not permanent, so the more places they are, the more likely they are to survive. There is another thread on here mentioning an article on Schlesinger limits by a South African guy which can no longer be found (I believe it was somewhat turned into an article for MEW). If this were also located again, it would be good to host it. |

I’ve just tried the old link, and it works fine for me : **LINK** http://www.neme-s.org/Percival_Marshall/Percival%20Marshall.wav MichaelG. . Edit: ___ and further investigation will get you here: http://www.neme-s.org/Percival_Marshall/ ... which seems a little odd; because clicking ‘parent directory’ then takes you to the home page [where there appears to be no link available] Edited By Michael Gilligan on 14/04/2020 09:58:19 |

863 forum posts 104 photos | Thank you Neil. At 4.19 the video shows a tool and cutter grinder. Is this of a particular design perhaps? or a self designed/made tool? Ed. |

That is my point. You know where to look so you can confirm it is still there. But if you did not know, how would you go about finding it? It is only through someone's chance remembering of your old, old posting that it has been found. Try and find your original post as if you did not know it was there. In theory 'percival marshall site:model-engineer.co.uk' should eventually find it but you have to sift a lot of material. Try and go at finding the audio file cold using the best Google-fu you have. If the file just sits on a server with no other page linking to it, it is almost impossible to find. I suspect it used to be pointed to from the neme-s homepage, which is how you found it a long time ago, but that the neme-s page has been edited and the link removed. |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | OK! The video and and MP3 version of the audio can be accessed here: www.stubmandrel.co.uk/model-engineering/176-percival-marshall-speaks If you want to download, rather than play the audio you will need to right click the MP3 file link onb that web page and choose save as. Hopefully it will soon start to be discoverable on Google etc. I suppose his recording is effectively a 12930s podcast! Neil |

The article is : "No limits: George Schlesinger" by Alan Bester. MEW No 246. Autumn 2016 Thankyou. I know of this one but would have to buy a back issue to see it. I would like to locate a copy of the original pdf that was on the website. I mentioned it as well more as an example of the non-permanence of internet stuff. |
