Hey Bill,
Devonport eh?? My Mum was born there!! Sure is a small world!, I love the Tasmanian countryside, so clean and un-spoilt....thus far at least, hope it stays that way. All the best,
Smithy.
: Hi Smithy,
: Yep, you can call me Bill - just not in public. LOL
: I live in beautiful Devonport, just down the road from your old stomping ground. Small World, eh.
: Regards, B...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 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". : : : : : Brett Smith. : : : : : : Hi grim, : : : : : : : : : Bearings have arrived. "Slop model" independently verified. : : : : : : : grim
: :
: : Well then Ovyyus,
: : : 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 :)
: : : Regards, ovyyus
: : :
: : : : All the best from Down Under,

: : : : : Could you please elaborate "slop model independently verified"? Thanks.
