Horses for courses, Diane ?

... is it really appropriate to ‘outsource’ the Maker’s Mark ?

... Just wondering

MichaelG.

As requested by Vic, in a recent thread:

My ‘eyepiece tube to C-mount’ adapter tubes arrived safely today

They were handled in China by ‘ORANGE CONNEX’ and in the UK by Royal Mail’s RM 24 service.

It appears that system is running exactly as it should.

Is there, by any chance, a copy of the Chinese version available ?

... it would be interesting [and possibly useful] to run that through various translators.

MichaelG.

Just pondering ...

I wonder what the legality of putting them in a kerbside Litter Bin would be.

Can the local council object to such use of a facility they have provided ?

+1 for JA’s comment

My much-modified heart is with you, Raphael

.... Can’t add anything except yet more thanks to you, and everyone who is fighting for mankind.

No problem, Robin ... I just took it as ‘artistic license’ and assumed [that dreaded word again] that you meant it was just like Bob LAG’s photo.

... I must admit, however, that I would love to see the original Myford [Beeston] drawing for the tooth profile.

Thanks for the info. ... it starts to make sense now !
 

Other parts of the Laos grid look considerably tidier :

Thanks for the introductory note, Steve

The opening shot looks promising, but, my ML7R has the ML7 cross-slide

Well said, Ian

Keep up the brave work.

Then, as already stated : I shall watch and learn.

That’s strange :

I always thought that optimised spring pressure allowed the beat to self-adjust.

I shall watch and learn.

Edit. __ How uncanny !

I’ve just found a very similar enquiry dating back to 2014, on NAWCC

I couldn’t suppress a wry smile when I saw the McAfee anti-virus advert pop up in that

See Gene’s post, above

Our son is currently in Laos, and he sent me these photos for your delectation and delight:

The location is : 17°57'21.2"N 102°38'13.3"E

.

.. which you can easily find on Google Earth

The photos show the new, upgraded, installation

Perhaps one of the experts can identify the boxes ...

Very interesting, Rob

... I think we might need one of Jason’s [unless another volunteer steps forward] clever 3D models to explain the requisite tooth shape !

MichaelG.

Many thanks for that Robin

The remaining issue is ... Why does Myford in Mytholmroyd not supply them in that form ?

MichaelG.

From the BBC page that I linked earlier:

“An open, collaborative project known as Ruffle is working to develop software that can play Flash content in a web browser, without requiring a plug-in.”

... but personally, I think the security risks are just security risks.

MichaelG.

.

For the sake of my sanity, if nothing else, Robin ...

Could you please confirm the intended shape of the gears ?

Bob’s photos are quite unlike the new parts that are on offer !!

... I have assumed this to be the result of severe wear [from scuffing against the leadscrew when incompletely engaged] but others say they are made that way.
