[QUOTE="mr.hutch, post: 14377, member: 1424"] [b]M&W[/b] As we seem to be wandering down nostalga avenue, I felt urged to add my ten pennies worth, (old money), yes I regulaly use my Moore and Wright micrometer, inherited from a lady mechanical engineer who practiced in the post war years, which I have allways felt to be unusual in that particular period of industrial relations, (please no politics is intended). It is stamped No 961, like so many others used by Vincent owners everywhere and still lives in its hard spectacle type case with the small spanner for fine adjustments, also the brown strips of rust preventative paper,' to protect the tool '. I know I was thick at school, the 1940's, but I never did really understand what logs and anti logs were were all about, was it about making very difficult calculations easy? Please enlighten me John. If not by the forum I hope to see you at the Suffolk Section meet next weekend. Do go very carefully on those roads, mr. hutch ;-) [/QUOTE]
