Peter, just looked at your end-to-end weighing system, seems very similar to mine using wood and spirit level! _________________ KA

Hi Ka,
Were your knife edges bits of bent metal too?
Those little electronic scales are really good for the job.

I found two options on this and tried both, and old gudgeon pin, and a knife edge as yours. The gudgeon pin gave better alignment for the rods, the sharp edge more movement for the rod on the scales.
And yes, I also went for a sharp edge! _________________ KA

Sorry for the late thanks
Thank you Peter and KA, I was more interested as a read than any thing else.
At that price I'm not surprised it is still on long term loan from the library, 2007.
Now I have the ISBN I can keep a look out.
Soon be back on the road after a long term layup, last time out was end of June. |

This book is still available from smallfordspares.
And not at "get rich quick" exorbitant prices
Mine arrived this morning for £18.50 |
