Well then Ovyyus,
I can call you an Aussie, and may I also call you Bill? What part of Tassie do you hail from, I spent a few years in Launceston during the early 70's.
All the best,
Smithy.
: Hi Smithy,
: Thanks for the update. I agree, grim's 'dirty hands approach' is what we need to see more of. Keep it up!
: BTW, I live a little South of you in good 'ol Tassie :)

: : Hi Ovyyus,
: : I'm the one who can verify Grim's "slop" workshop model, I've made the same "slop" model myself here in Sydney to his specifications and I was quite surprised at its behaviour, being a single mechanism unit it seems to act against what you would think as normal mechanical leverage, however it must be said, untill a fully built "working model" is produced all of the above means nothing, Grim is claiming nothing other than his efforts to produce something more than a theoretical mathmatical or computer aided model, for this I commend him. He is truly one who "gets his hands dirty".
