Pen names

[DMBParticipant @dmb]

Can anyone confirm that "Exactus" was a pen name used by Edgar Westbury?

[DMBParticipant @dmb]

I thought he used a 'Waterman'

Sorry,

[V8EngParticipant @v8eng]

Yes that appears to be correct and another name I had not heard before.

A quick search reveals an article in ME, 1957 Vol 117 Issue 2946 "Reconditioning a Machine Hacksaw by Exactus (Edgar T Westbury)"

Also wrote as Ned and Artificer

and also as Kinemette when describing projectors and other photographic equipment.

A similar enquiry – I have just noticed the book Workshop Hint & Tips on the shelf – a Model Engineer Handbook, published in 1957 and reprinted in 1970. This is by Geometer and I think is a set of reprints of articles in ME – but does anyone know who was Geometer? The introduction says the name covers the identity of 'a professional engineer who has had many years of experience'

A good read!

Hi Nick,

You are not the first to ask who Geometer was – see here and here. His articles are indeed a good read.
