I have seen it many times on the 'net. The wheels are not turning that fast, just mega down pressure. One was done while the engineer went on break, wonder how He explained it. The Good Old USA does still use spiked rails.

I bet Your furnacws were not tapped like Ours was. A rolled cardboard 3-4" round had a ceramic blunt arrow head on the end. Wires came out the back, the tube had 1/4 (or so) stick of dynamite inside. The second helper dropped the tube in the drain chute stepped in back of a sheet metal tin wll and hooked up the wires quickly and the charge went off with a loud boom. When I first asked what happened Someone said to look out on the other side of the pit (it was dark) and there was a sheet tin wall all beat up looking. They said that was where the card board tubes hit to stop them. It was 300-400 feet away.

Spent 9 months working at a big Steel works, open hearth furnaces, 12 of them. The 13th one was in another county and not fired up because of the additional taxes. 300 tons capacity each I believe. Fed with 50 ton ladles and scrap. Most impressive for a 18 year old out of school. Closed down and I moved. Would I go back? I could not get there fast enough. Loved it, everything else has been boring.

Another trick is to deliberatly misspell something like first or last name or address and see When it comes up. A single letter will work.

How about coating something with CeraCoat (spelling?) an industrial ceramic coating?

Bouncing a probe off of Mars............

I don't think We missed Mars, just center punched it a bit.

I used plain old mild steel for Mine. 1018 steel don't know what You call it over there. I added about 3 " to allow for one or two cut offs and rethreads if it wears out. Used about 5 years now with no problems.

What's wrong with Richard the Lion hearted?

You lucky Brits, over here it happens once in a while that the electric has gone off for a week. It is getting better and it has been several years since a meaningful outage. It was in the middle of a blizzard and many did not have heat. We have a wood stove.

Reasearch on the web should lead to the type of ATF required. I THINK it is the type meant for Fords, there is a difference.

Old American cars used some of those sizes.

And I thought the Metric system was hard..

Do You still have oil filled glaziers putty used in sealing window glass to their frames? That is/was called glaziers putty over here. It is what We used to make coolant dams.

Let the Man speak long and loudly.

At present I have the Covid, double pnuemonia, the seasonal flu, and bronchitis. All tested and verified at the hospital. No shots, been 4 weeks, retired. Just tired and should be over it next week.

42 isn't the answer?

Dental Surgeon here named Cutright. Did it wrong once, removed 2 perfectly good front teeth on the wrong Patient.

Ask questions of Neil and it will count as posts.

I've heard it breeds a virus.
