[00:01:14] <andypugh> You could risk trying the fix first. Perhaps tell the vendor first?
[00:01:35] <roycroft> i already contacted the seller
[00:01:48] <andypugh> (i hate it when look back and find I have used the same word twice in a sentence)
[00:01:48] <roycroft> i'm going to wait for her reply before doing anything
[00:02:09] <roycroft> i have to test the display it self, of course
[00:02:15] <roycroft> if the whole thing is dead it's going back
[00:02:23] <roycroft> and i need to go get a cable for that, which i'll be doing presently
[00:02:37] <roycroft> i'm sure i can repair this controller board, but i'd rather she sent me a replacement
[00:02:47] <roycroft> then i can repair the damaged one at my convenience, and have a spare
[00:03:12] <roycroft> interestingly, this touch screen interface is usb, not rs232
[00:03:23] <andypugh> So is mine.
[00:03:24] <roycroft> hopefully the x11 that ships with ubuntu can deal with that
[00:03:48] <andypugh> I know that the Eeti driver works OK with EMC2
[00:03:52] * roycroft heads off to the recycle store to procure a cable for $2
[00:04:02] <roycroft> the elo driver works with emc2 - i've tested with my crt display
[00:04:13] <roycroft> as along as that driver works with this controller i'll be fine

[00:43:27] <roycroft> the display itself works great
[00:44:33] <roycroft> and i bet i could get the touch screen interface working, for testing, by putting the crystal back on with a hot glue gun
[00:44:54] <jdhNC> no solder?
[00:44:58] <andypugh> I love my new display, but that might be justifying how much I spent on it :-) But is does have an excellent viewing angle and an awful lot of pixels.
[00:45:06] <jdhNC> if it came off, what else might be wrong.
[00:45:13] <roycroft> i spent $46 on mine :)
[00:45:19] <jdhNC> andypugh: a big screen is nice, two of them is better.
[00:45:39] <roycroft> jdhnc: i just want to see if the touchscreen controller works
[00:45:45] <roycroft> if it does i'll fix it properly
[00:46:02] <roycroft> but especially until i hear back from the seller i don't want to solder anything
[00:46:11] <andypugh> jdhNC: Well, this is 2560x1440
[00:46:34] <roycroft> that seems somewhat excessive for touchy
[00:46:38] <jdhNC> right, so 5120x1440 would be even better.
[00:47:02] <andypugh> Well, there is a port for an external monitor, so it could be done.
[00:47:26] <jdhNC> I have thrown away quite a few working elo screens due to bad inverters on the lcd
[00:47:48] mybitcoin is now known as ybit
[00:47:50] <andypugh> roycroft: This isn't my LinuxCNC machine.
[00:48:30] <roycroft> i figured not
[00:50:34] -!- skunkworks__ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:51:26] <andypugh> For fun, checking latency in a LinuxCNC VM… 7594541nS. I think that might be the worst ever?
[00:53:13] <roycroft> that's suboptimal, certainly
[00:54:01] <andypugh> Wierdly, before I upgraded to the 64-bit VMware that was giving a rather unfeasible (for a VM) 7000nS latency. I doubt either are true.
[00:54:46] <Valen> I want a ~5" lcd with touch screen
[00:54:49] <Valen> bare
[00:54:59] <Valen> and for less than the price of a 16" tv
[00:55:01] <andypugh> I think they exist
[00:55:04] <Valen> not looking promising
[00:55:06] <jdhNC> I have some lilliput 7" ones, they were $100ish
[00:56:15] <Valen> touch?
[00:56:25] <jdhNC> yeah,never used the touch part though
[00:56:33] <Valen> i want it to run my oven
[00:56:44] <andypugh> Thorw away the GPS part? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Binatone-X350-Automotive-GPS-Receiver-/63409631
[00:56:58] <jdhNC> these ran a convoluted bar code reader
[00:57:10] <Valen> andypugh: 3.5" smaller than i wanted
[00:57:26] <Valen> I was going to hook it up to mythtv as well
[00:57:34] <Valen> oven can watch TV = made of win lol
[00:57:50] <andypugh> Ah, yes, stupid eBay search
[00:58:33] <jdhNC> looks like tehy are 175ish now
[00:58:38] <Valen> ouch
[00:59:19] <Valen> because these exist http://www.dealextreme.com/p/7-0-resistive-touch-screen-android-2-3-tablet-pc-with-camera-wi-fi-tf-hdmi-silver-black-107320?item=1
[01:00:23] <Valen> I spose i could just use one of those (or similar) but I want something thats going to last for many years and i have my doubts about tablets
[01:00:30] <theorbtwo> Careful with oven -- needs to run reliably when hot, and grease + touchscreen seems like bad idea.
[01:00:58] <Valen> nah there is a cooling fan there, sucks outside air in past the electrical area
[01:01:06] <theorbtwo> Oh, handy.
[01:01:17] <roycroft> if this touch screen works out i'm going to buy a bunch more
[01:01:30] <Valen> i think its mainly to keep the skin temp of the oven down
[01:01:34] <roycroft> i have other machines that i want to cnc, and at the price i paid i can afford a few spares
[01:01:51] <Valen> otherwise I get a 19" screen and put it in the kitchen and run the oven headless
[01:03:06] <Valen> this is closer http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/556530265/8_0_inch_lcd_display_with.html
[01:07:32] <andypugh> Valen: Do you need colour? http://www.ledsee.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=125&category_id=23&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
[01:07:59] <Valen> I spose i don't but I would really like it
[01:08:29] <andypugh> That's 5.147" by my reckoning
[01:09:31] <andypugh> The 12" touchscreen is cheaper, though
[01:10:06] <andypugh> Ah, bit doesn't include a display, it is just the touch part...
[01:18:22] <andypugh> Valen: Interesting, the description doesn't say it is a touchscreen, but the review does…. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lilliput-UM70-Display-USB-powered-Monitor/dp/B003DPW5IY/ref=/ref=cm_cd_t_pb_t (yes, it's a bit bigger)
[01:18:47] <Valen> usb connection though, no chance of video
[01:20:09] -!- stevegt_1 has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:20:13] <Valen> hdmi would be ideal
[01:26:02] <andypugh> I found a 7" HDMI touchscreen. Not cheap though
[01:26:16] <Valen> 4x the price of an android tablet?
[01:26:39] <Valen> hah! http://www.omnivisionusa.com/monitors/replacement-crt/crt-monitors/5-inch-low-profile-kit-.html rock it old school
[01:27:17] <andypugh> Valen: Basicall, yes. £160
[01:28:16] <djdelorie> Valen: I have two of those (not *exactly* the same of course)
[01:28:17] <Valen> found this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/416182780/5_7_Sunlight_Readable_Open_Frame.html nfi on price though
[01:28:43] <andypugh> Valen: Not touchy?
[01:28:57] <Valen> i could put a touch panel in front of it i guess
[01:29:32] <djdelorie> the front isn't flat, a touch panel wouldn't work on it
[01:29:54] <Valen> djdelorie: oh your talking about the CRT?
[01:29:58] <djdelorie> yeah
[01:30:03] <Valen> that was a joke ;->
[01:31:29] <roycroft> there are flexible touch panels :)
[01:31:36] <andypugh> Valen: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sharp-5-7-TFT-LCD-w-Touch-Screen-High-Bright-w-Cable-/400293266302
[01:31:41] <Valen> steam punk it up you think
[01:33:06] <Valen> andypugh: dunno what interface that is
[01:33:11] <andypugh> Valen: Aha! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-3-TFT-LCD-Module-Touch-Screen-Panel-480-x-272Pixels-/170739460176
[01:33:29] <Valen> thats looking more like it

[01:38:06] <andypugh> Not touchy?
[01:38:17] <Valen> yeah i know
[01:38:40] <Valen> Its really feeling like the easiest option is going to be a 15" touch screen for the kitchen
[01:38:47] <Valen> but i really don't like that idea
[01:38:56] <Valen> control should be on the device
[01:44:44] <Valen> ahh well time to go crawl around in the roof i guess

[02:48:26] <jdhNC> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/nema-23
[02:48:33] <jdhNC> the new web site is prettier
[02:48:43] <Tom_itx> i'm hoping to get my new geckos wired up soon
[02:49:25] <jdhNC> so... my saga last night with the C41 speed controller. I got a new rev 2 board, the manual is only for Rev1.1 and this one also requires 5vdc along with 12-24vdc
[02:50:05] <Tom_itx> i wondered what you were talking about since i didn't know what a C41 was
[02:50:05] <jdhNC> but, it doesn't say anything about 5v in the docs, it just says 'power requirements 12vdc 200mA' (and other places 300mA)
[02:50:21] <Tom_itx> got it working?
[02:50:22] <jdhNC> pwm->0-10vdc board
[02:50:34] <jdhNC> yeah, after hooking up 5V.
[02:51:02] <Tom_itx> i gotta find a cabinet to put all this stuff in
[02:51:34] <jdhNC> The board in the docs had a 7805 so I assumed the 5V was outputs for something
[02:52:00] <jdhNC> I got 3 cheap keling drives, they are going to take up a lot of space
[02:52:13] <Tom_itx> get a smps for it
[02:52:13] <Tom_itx> the linear will run hot
[02:52:13] <Tom_itx> with very much v drop on it

[02:52:28] <Tom_itx> need to add a bunch of stuff to it
[02:52:33] <Tom_itx> lucked into that heatsink
[02:52:37] <Tom_itx> scrap yard

[03:13:27] <Tom_itx> gotta get some boards done up to mount the caps to and find a box to put all that and 2 mesa cards in and maybe the atom pc.. i'm not sure about it
[03:13:36] <Tom_itx> i may leave it standalone
[03:14:05] <Tom_itx> i wish i had another one of them
[03:14:17] <jdhNC> buy one
[03:14:33] <Tom_itx> it's not at the top of the list currently
[03:15:06] <jdhNC> If I can get to the back of this closet, I have a bigass PC case that could hold everything.
[03:15:19] <Tom_itx> i was lucky to get the geckos
[03:15:29] <jdhNC> they look nice and are very compact.
[03:15:37] <Tom_itx> i have another pc i could use for it
[03:15:39] <Tom_itx> that would hold the mesa cards etc
[03:15:41] <jdhNC> but, my 5amp drives were $49/each
[03:15:51] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:16:19] <Tom_itx> do the chinese ones lower the current when idle?
[03:16:24] <jdhNC> I have the mesa boards mounted on a piece of plexi that I can mount vertically.
[03:16:39] <jdhNC> not these, the $70 ones do.
[03:17:08] <jdhNC> I sure how low current would do on the Z with a ballscrew
[03:17:13] <jdhNC> err.. not sure
[03:18:19] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/pendant.jpg
[03:18:39] <Tom_itx> i did finally stick mine on some plexi to keep from shorting em out
[03:18:52] <Tom_itx> and to mount some D25's to
[03:18:55] <jdhNC> I need a shorter 50-pin ribbon cable
[03:19:37] <Tom_itx> it's gettin pretty filled up now
[03:19:48] <jdhNC> that's a 7i47?
[03:20:26] <jdhNC> heh, took a while for the pic to finish loading, now I can see the label

[03:24:48] <Tom_itx> should load quick now
[03:25:37] <jdhNC> you can drive leds straight with no resistor?
[03:25:50] <Tom_itx> those have builtin resistors
[03:25:59] <Tom_itx> some i had on hand
[03:28:05] <Tom_itx> my local guy has those 50 pin connectors
[03:28:25] <Tom_itx> and i had a bunch of old scsi cables
[03:28:42] <jdhNC> I found tons of 50pin IDC male connectors at work
[03:28:55] <jdhNC> only two females, and they didn't have the back part
[03:29:21] <Tom_itx> the ends are easy to crack off
[03:29:27] <Tom_itx> making them useless
[03:30:23] <Thetawaves> jdhNC, what kind of leds do you have and what kind of power are you feeding them?
[03:30:51] <Tom_itx> mine are just there for testing
[03:31:04] <Thetawaves> in pendant.jpg?
[03:31:04] <jdhNC> I have thousands, doesn't everyone?
[03:31:11] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:31:14] <Tom_itx> that's an old pic
[03:31:24] <Thetawaves> whats this 'without resistors' bit
[03:31:38] <Tom_itx> you can get leds with builtin resistors
[03:31:48] <Tom_itx> that's what those are
[03:31:56] <Thetawaves> oh oh oh red and yellow
[03:32:04] <Thetawaves> i was looking at the smd leds
[03:32:16] <Tom_itx> no, those are part of the mesa board
[03:32:53] <Tom_itx> using an led is better than burning something up
[03:33:08] <jdhNC> too bad, I was hoping the board had current limiting built in.
[03:33:17] <Tom_itx> it may
[03:33:19] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[03:33:41] <Tom_itx> i dunno what those driver chips are
[03:33:43] <jdhNC> stick a few in and find out for me on your board.
[03:33:52] <jdhNC> supposed to do 24mA max
[03:34:23] <Tom_itx> i run a few of the ouputs single ended too
[03:34:42] <Tom_itx> you can see the resistors on the connectors
[03:35:06] <Tom_itx> err inputs..
[03:36:05] <jdhNC> does it have internal pull-ups?
[03:36:52] <Tom_itx> i don't remember now, i think you can set it in software
[03:38:14] <Tom_itx> it's been a while since i set all that up
[03:38:39] <jdhNC> The /TX(N) and /RX(N) signals are the noninverted
[03:38:41] <jdhNC> RS-422 signals.
[03:38:55] <jdhNC> that explains why the PWM signal was backwards
[03:39:13] <Tom_itx> yup
[03:39:59] <Tom_itx> i probably could have gotten by with just a buffer board
[03:40:20] <jdhNC> me too, but not much difference.
[03:40:21] <Tom_itx> it's nice for encoders though
[03:41:49] <jdhNC> I was planning on adding a spindle encoder, but the spindle seems to have a single channel one already
[03:42:00] <Tom_itx> this'll go on my sherline for now but i'm getting it all set up for a bigger mill
[03:43:44] <ReadError> backlash compensation is AWESOME
[03:44:02] <jdhNC> ReadError: it's a kludge, it only looks awesome
[03:44:02] <ReadError> got it dialed in PERFECT

[03:45:38] <Tom_itx> i can read
[03:45:48] <Tom_itx> heat will change it more than that
[03:45:53] <ReadError> yea im just amazed
[03:46:09] <Tom_itx> it's better to fix it in hardware as much as possible
[03:46:10] <ReadError> sorry noob here :)
[03:46:20] <ReadError> yea i think theres something i can do
[03:46:25] <ReadError> im going to talk to alex4nder
[03:46:45] <Tom_itx> you can preload the screws
[03:47:03] <Tom_itx> but a nice tight fit is better yet
[03:47:24] <ReadError> i havnt seen any off the shelf solution for this taig
[03:52:54] <ReadError> with chrome and all that running
[03:53:02] <ReadError> my max jitter on base is 16k
[03:53:04] <ReadError> acceptable?
[03:53:14] <ReadError> doesnt seem to change depending on what i have open
[04:17:33] <jdhNC> try running it then dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.bar bs=1024 count=10000
[04:18:02] <Jymmm> jdhNC: WTH?
[04:19:44] <Jymmm> jdhNC: who are you telling that to and why?
[04:20:32] <Valen> thats not going to do anything paticularly bad
[04:20:39] <Jymmm> jdhNC: If that's suppose to be a joke, it's not funny in the least.
[04:20:44] <Valen> just make a large file
[04:20:55] <Valen> actually its only 100mbyte
[04:21:03] <Jymmm> doesn't matter
[04:21:04] <Valen> whats the problem
[04:21:19] <Valen> its a decent way of causing some disk load
[04:23:12] <ReadError> jdhNC, 19k
[04:23:27] <Jymmm> there are burnin utils that do far better
[04:23:44] <Valen> ReadError: starting glxgears do anything? it often causes a ~30k spike
[04:24:14] <Valen> still not seeing what the OMG indignation is about
[04:24:27] <ReadError> 16.5k with glxgears running
[04:24:32] <ReadError> and xchat, chrome
[04:24:46] <ReadError> and flash
[04:24:54] <Valen> just to be sure, you *started* glxgears after starting the latency test?
[04:25:13] <ReadError> yea
[04:25:28] <ReadError> thats on base
[04:25:30] <Valen> nifty
[04:25:36] <ReadError> 49k on servo
[04:25:52] <Valen> our intel board runs ~4k i think but has 30K spikes when starting openGl stuff

[04:58:21] <Tom_itx> jdhNC why? microsoft doesn't
[05:13:00] <Jymmm> jdhNC: Initially, I misread the of= as /dev/sdx, BUT my biggest bitch was that you randomly gave a dangerous command not directed to anyoen specifically and more so that you gave no hint that one should be careful not to typo the command as they could fuck things up. People on irc will see some command and just try it out not knowing. A little warning would have been nice for those that have no clue.

[05:16:59] <Jymmm> jdhNC: No, just when you have a channel of 500+ on a somewhat learning irc network there have been times that system went poof becasue the person gave no warning. You wouldn't put a knife/gun in the table and walk away for a few moments, would you?
[05:17:23] <ReadError> when in doubt, rm -rf /

[05:21:41] <ReadError> alex4nder: did you adjust the nuts?
[05:21:42] <ReadError> or stock
[05:21:54] <alex4nder> I adjusted the nuts.
[05:22:03] <alex4nder> well, the nuts that preload the bearings
[05:22:09] <alex4nder> I also broke a set of bearings because of it
[05:22:09] <ReadError> oh i havnt done anything yet
[05:22:15] <ReadError> ide rtfm
[05:22:19] <ReadError> but there is nothing ;/
[05:22:30] <alex4nder> I'd spend some time milling
[05:22:42] <alex4nder> the only reason I even touched mine is because my mill came with handles
[05:22:43] <Tom_itx> are there springs behind the preloaded nuts?
[05:22:46] <alex4nder> no
[05:23:08] <Tom_itx> that would be a good start
[05:23:18] <alex4nder> there is bearing, spacer, bearing, dial bearing, coupler half, nut

[05:23:25] <alex4nder> ReadError: yah
[05:23:31] <alex4nder> just use your mill
[05:23:32] <ReadError> where i can move it .0001

[05:23:47] <ReadError> but thats w/o a load

[05:24:18] <ReadError> i move it 10x 0.0001
[05:24:23] <alex4nder> sure
[05:24:26] <alex4nder> cool
[05:24:26] <ReadError> and it goes moves 0.001
[05:24:38] <ReadError> i just press it 10 times @ 0.0001

[05:30:39] <alex4nder> there's a range for a reason

[05:46:13] <ReadError> nah i remember seeing the CR and ER spindles though
[05:46:24] <alex4nder> there is no CR spindle
[05:47:25] <alex4nder> there's the ER non-CR model, which has an ER16 spindle with a non-continuous duty motor
[05:47:33] <alex4nder> and then there's the actual 3/4"-16 taig spindle
[05:47:46] <alex4nder> which the old mills used, and the lathes still use
[05:48:16] <alex4nder> (which is one of the reasons I waited so long to buy a taig)

[09:14:04] <Valen> Jymmm: they all generally do have that
[09:14:16] <Valen> I have used that charger IC quite recently
[09:14:35] <Valen> its not going to be a big issue for you i don't think
[09:15:25] <Jymmm> Valen: I just wouldn't want to excessively kill the cell due to patchy cloud cover.
[09:16:01] <Valen> whats the voltage the auto recharge starts again? i think it varies for different sub models in that line
[09:16:29] <Jymmm> most do , what, 500 cycles or so. pathcy cloud cover over 6 hours could mean 10-30 (restart) cycles I'm guessing.
[09:16:30] -!- bedah [bedah!~bedah@g224074203.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[09:16:45] <Valen> well probably not i'm thinking
[09:16:46] <Jymmm> Valen: it's sensative as all hell... 50mV
[09:17:03] <Valen> because the voltage won't actually sag a great deal as a rule
[09:17:49] <Jymmm> You know, I have a cheap data logging DMM. Maybe I just need to toss out my solar blanket and see what it does
[09:18:00] <Valen> its a good place to start
[09:18:11] <Valen> those IC's will be happy with 5V at 500ma
[09:18:18] <Valen> if you can provide that at all times its good
[09:18:55] <Jymmm> I really should get a solar controller, just not sure if the one I'm looking as would be good for charging Li-Ion as it does PWM charging of Gelcells
[09:19:17] <Valen> pwm is just a control scheme
[09:19:28] <Valen> 99% of all modern power electronics is pwm
[09:19:54] <Jymmm> Well, it's intende to help prevent sulfication in LEadAcid gelcells
[09:20:26] <Jymmm> Valen: This is the one I'm considering... http://www.morningstarcorp.com/en/sun-guard
[09:20:28] <Valen> so they presumably boost the voltage output of the PWM stage up somewhat from time to time
[09:21:25] <Valen> their "100% pwm duty cycle" thing is because most of the pwm systems use ringing on the fet to generate voltage to drive the fet
[09:21:33] <Valen> so they cant run at 100% duty cycle
[09:22:40] <Jymmm> PWM Setpoint 14.1 V
[09:25:37] <Jymmm> Valen: Heh, maybe I can find a 10 Farad (not uF), cap to balance out the clouds =) lol
[09:25:58] <Jymmm> Valen: and no bigger than 4 stacked US Quarters or so =)
[09:25:59] <Valen> perhaps not
[09:26:29] <Valen> the problem is when you suck 50% of the charge out of them the voltage is half what you started with
[09:26:29] <Jymmm> Well, maybe not 10F, but I have seen 1F that size
[09:26:45] <Valen> you can get 55F in small packages
[09:26:56] <Jymmm> WOOHOO!!!
[09:27:08] <Jymmm> and less than $4 USD, right? lol
[09:27:52] <Valen> somewhere around that price actually
[09:28:38] <Jymmm> Oh, cool. Maybe that might add some benefit. I have a "shake flashlight" that uses a super cap like that instead of a battery for storage.
[09:30:59] <Jymmm> Valen: did you check out that sony battery?
[09:31:08] <Valen> no?

[09:32:46] <Valen> again thats kinda like saying its a D size battery
[09:32:52] <Valen> doesn't describe the chemistry
[09:33:24] <Jymmm> Valen: Well, I've never seen an 18650 in anythign other than Li-Ion tyvm

[14:32:33] <andypugh> No sensors is a bit funny.
[14:34:20] <archivist> well the model aircraft outrunner types are sensorless
[14:34:42] <andypugh> But only 3 wires.
[14:35:56] <archivist> I feel this is a strange unipolar stepper
[14:37:03] <archivist> andypugh, have you seen this one http://www.raynerd.co.uk/?p=1562
[14:39:15] <andypugh> That's rather neatly done. He might need an air-stirrer, but I can see it working very well.
[14:42:07] <archivist> does look nice, motor and driver are not that expensive perhaps fleabay motor 110855214840 mounted on shaft and collet holder 150802219480
[14:52:07] <andypugh> Those eBay collet holders are good for all sorts of things like that.

[21:54:42] <pfred1> ah ha they found a body
[21:56:16] <pfred1> I think this guy is going to put the nail into the whole prepper movement
[21:56:52] <andypugh> I haven't the slightest idea what you are on about.
[21:57:01] <pfred1> http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iM5TtetRXKQIF_ljSVAe0buRTAag?docId=3f19b0be80a7442ead91d5e49437c97f
[21:57:16] <pfred1> andypugh prepping is an American thing I think
[21:58:23] <andypugh> I think I can guess what it is about. "Preparedness"?
[21:58:45] <pfred1> andypugh those nuts belong in rubber padded cells
[21:58:54] <andypugh> They are the major bad-guys in "The Postman" and the saviours of the world in "Out of the Dark"
[22:00:12] <pfred1> you can't prepare for doomsday
[22:00:15] <andypugh> "Out of the Dark" makes a convincing case why everyone should have at least two Barratt rifles. Though to be honest a rather promising book is ruined by the arrival of vampires.
[22:01:06] <pfred1> this guy triggered hos own personal doomsday and he didn't last 2 days
[22:02:17] <pfred1> I read a book by Dean Ing called Pulling Through that was about the topic
[22:03:01] <pfred1> OMG I'm rich! http://www.amazon.com/Pulling-Through-Dean-Ing/dp/0441690505
[22:03:33] <pfred1> apparently it is a much sought after tome
