    Cordless drill trouble

    Take the armature out and put it in the chuck of a corded drill held in a vice, polish the com with the finest wet&dry you can get your hands on with the com spinning in the drill. For best performance you want the com mirror smooth or you will lose power and wear your new brushes quickly. Big-e

    Engineer - So define it!

    Charlie, Glad you think there may be possibilities. I'm not really up to speed on the technology myself but think with a little research it may be viable. Have a quick look at www.rswww.com and search for 291-1306, this gives a good insight into how it works. I'm just finishing my last shift...

    Engineer - So define it!

    Lets start with #1, how about expanding it to anything motoring related which gives us a much wider scope. I've often wondered about a cheap instant method of heating and cooling a car which can be retro fitted. How about Vortex technology?, produces hot and cold instantly but would have to...

    Engineer - So define it!

    Once the building has been finished the temperature can be regulated so that the lid can be fitted with no worry of damage due to low temperatures or is it that the lid needs to be fitted when the still is hot so that whilst in operation the seals will not fail due to expansion? One more...

    Engineer - So define it!

    I would assume that the lid did not fit first thing in the morning due to the huge whiskey (probably in Ireland or US due to the e) Still being outside thus susceptible to the drop in temperature over night which would affect the overall size of the hole the lid was to cover. It may have fitted...

    Engineer - So define it!

    Engineer - So define it!

    Calm down Charlie boy, I am not debating who is more suited to do a specific role, obviously you would not ask someone unqualified to carry out something which is beyond their means. Your original post was asking to define what is an engineer. To be an engineer is different to being say a...

    what is the point?

    My wife doesnt work and I have no kids so weekdays or weekends doesnt really affect us. 4 day shifts, 4 days off, 4 night shifts, 8 days off constantly rotating means that I get a lot more weekends off than when I wasnt on shift and working overtime, now with the 55% shift premium all my times...

    Engineer - So define it!

    It is often quoted because this is the correct definition of the word. The correct definition of the word Doctor is a person with a medical degree whose job is to treat people who are ill or hurt or a person who has the highest degree from a college or university this is why you do not get...

    what is the point?

    I hate to sound cliche but you need to head south, we still have a fair bit of work due to some big companies in london and surrounding counties, Coca-cola in Edmonton and Sidcup, Britvic in Beckton and Chelmsford, Tate and Lyle in Silvertown, Van den Burghs, Proctor and Gamble, the list goes on.

    what is the point?
