What does it do?
Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:33:06 -0500
I've just acquired a Clarkson Mark 3 Tool and Cutter Grinder in not
quite working condition. (At some time someone melted the belt onto the
drive pulleys and the column doesn't rise or fall and most of the
tooling isn't complete, but there's enough to show it once had many of
the accessories).
On the front there ...

PC133 SDRAM - just on the off chance
Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:27:24 +0100
Bought a couple of 256mb sticks of PC133 sdram on Ebay last week to upgrade

to be ECC parity stuff for servers not desktop pcs. Strangely it does
actually work but each stick is only recognised as 128mb so I'm still stuck
at the 256mb t ...

and still have change ...

OT but someone here might know
Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:36:08 +0100
Years ago, there was a prototype electrical generator shown on TV -
possibly Tomorrow's World etc.
It was a low ramp on which one wheel of a vehicle was driven and parked.
In the ramp was a pair of rollers driving a generator. The other vehicle
wheels were chocked. With the car in gear and at tickover speeds a ...

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 04:32:12 -0700 (PDT)
I wish to cut a 90degree vee groove about 5/16" / 3/8" deep across a
