The rodent seems to be a bit more savvy than its Bretheren. I also bought 2 traditional type traps the other day on clearance from B&Q for a pound I have baited 1 with each bait and managed not to get my fingers caught in the trap. I will get the bl00dy thing one way or another Don't overdo it. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear sky or some relatively innocuous clouds, is there enough stuff out there to be picked up? Is it the same system but with various levels of warning? Andy I think it works just by detecting velocity differences in the air itself without the need for any other stuff to reflect the radar, but I don't know much about it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear sky or some relatively innocuous clouds, is there enough stuff out there to be picked up? Is it the same system but with various levels of warning? Andy There are two types of windshear detection systems - Predictive and Reactive. Predictive uses weather radar to sense the density and velocity of rain and other airborne particles ahead based on doppler shifts and a warning is triggered by algorithms that use the incoming signals and relate them to the likelihood of windshear. Reactive is a function of processors taking in information from other aircraft sensors and passing that information through algorithms to report that windshear is actually being experienced. Although that is fairly obviously too late to help avoid windshear, it can be used to assist flight control systems or autoland equipment to react more quickly to the windshear before a dangerous or irrecoverable situation develops.

Florence Locomotive Works Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I managed to more or less conceal the motor on my engine today, in fine 1960s kit builder style. I’m not to worried though as I think I will be giving this engine a Midland/Caledonian style bogie tender. Help was also had from my newly arrived 1924 copy of “Model Electric Locomotives and Railways” by Henry Greenly, which will be a very interesting read. @Dave Hunt, would you prefer it if I sent you a PM tomorrow as I think it’s rather late at night in the wilds of Hipposhire.

AndyID Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 A puzzle: We attacked a cabinet in the kitchen today. It was being used to store a load of baking stuff and it was a proper mess. The plastic covering on the shelves was peeling off too (ridiculous - after a mere 25 years). This is a wall mounted corner cabinet and the shelves are essentially square with a diagonal piece removed at the diagonal access door. The shelves are held in place with these things. You probably have something similar too. The shelf sits on the flat projection and the clip springs out to prevent the shelf lifting up. I'd probably have to draw a picture to explain it properly but the shelves in the corner cabinet are supported on five of these clips in such a way that it was virtually impossible to depress enough of the clips simultaneously to be able to bump the self up to remove it. I was about ready to destroy the damn things when I came up with a solution. That's the puzzle (BTW, a quick check on YouTube didn't reveal the answer) 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too except that I tried stuffing bits of old hacksaw blades between the shelf and the clip. Didn't work for toffee!
