A letter from me had been printed in Model Engineer and, perhaps because I had not expressed myself well, Peter had become convinced that I was about to do something dangerous which would lead to a burst grinding wheel. He didn't know me, but he scoured phone directories until he found me, then called me to voice his fears. What a kindly act from a stranger!
