No, my grandfather used to buy mechanics type magazines, and I used to love reading them in the 50s, about the weird things you could make. He also passed on a little of the old world technology to me. He was a brass founder, making things like locks and hinges etc. In the great depression (1920) he was "locked out". (went to work to find his place of employment closed and bankrupt). He never cast metal again. He went to night school and became an electrical contractor wiring houses as the grid became available. Shows how the wheel goes round and new technologies replace old ones, and the workers have to adapt. cheers, Neville Michie On 26/01/2010, at 9:35 AM, gsteinba52@aol.com wrote: > Good golly Neville,? you were a young boy in 1910?? > > Jerry > > > From: Neville Michie <namichie@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Conducting Bench Top Material > > A great insight to the static electricity problem came from articles > I read as a young boy in old (1910)articles such as "make yourself > an electrophorous" in popular science mags. > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ > time-nuts > and follow the instructions there.
