[00:01:31] <andypugh> Interesting fact (possibly only to me). Formica is a contraction of "Formable Mica" and has no connection to the latin name for ants, or to formic acid, at all. It was originally created as an alectrical insulation, and only later became a worktop (etc) material.
[00:02:00] <tjtr33> find it under big old transistors ( or rocks )
[00:02:49] <andypugh> Formic acid and Ants (formica) and the hillariously-missheard word "formication" are all related though.
[00:03:33] <L84Supper> spoken like a true formicator
[00:03:47] <tjtr33> under control of the king
[00:05:37] <L84Supper> you could mix carbon black with a resin to make your own thermal gad pads
[00:06:09] <andypugh> something non-conducting might be wiser
[00:07:11] <L84Supper> it is, you just need the proper carbon black
[00:07:30] <andypugh> Nan-diamond?
[00:07:37] <andypugh> (Nano)
[00:08:10] <L84Supper> carbon blacks are cheap, few $/lb
[00:08:26] <andypugh> Actually, dimond dust would be ideal, as it has a very high thermal conductivity. Especially isotopically pure C14 diamond.

[00:08:54] <L84Supper> just higher priced
[00:09:06] <r00t4rd3d> british port http://i.imgur.com/hZVSbcm.gif
[00:09:18] <r00t4rd3d> err porn
[00:10:44] <andypugh> I prefer Port
[00:10:54] <tjtr33> pour-n
[00:11:58] <L84Supper> we use carbon blacks in polymers to make them more thermally conductive than aluminum without being electrically conductive
[00:14:36] <andypugh> I tried it for this: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00275452?LI=true but decided that TiO2 was better (and nicer)

[00:38:34] <Tom_itx> andypugh, how'd it all turn out?
[00:38:41] <andypugh> Grand
[00:39:03] <andypugh> Did you see the picasaweb link?
[00:39:23] <andypugh> https://plus.google.com/photos/108164504656404380542/albums/5849768999973574065?banner=pwa
[00:39:23] <andypugh> [10:33pm]
[00:39:29] <Tom_itx> the one you keep adding to yes
[00:39:42] <andypugh> Last two pics are the new lid
[00:40:04] <Tom_itx> did the halves fit ok?
[00:40:35] <andypugh> I manually tweaked the inner shape. I think I under-pushed the outer.
[00:41:07] <Tom_itx> looks good from here
[00:41:49] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:42:23] <andypugh> Aye. The next one would be better, but I hope not to do a next one.
[00:43:05] <andypugh> It's lot stronger than the previous one.
[00:43:25] <PCW> Looks good but too shiny!
[00:43:37] <Tom_itx> yeah you need to tarnish it now
[00:43:50] <andypugh> Given that on a 200-person dinner it is placed and removed 400 times, by drunkards, it has a hard life.
[00:44:32] <Tom_itx> i may try a tap cycle with that template some time if i could get you to shove it into some wood or something
[00:44:43] <Tom_itx> just to see if it works ok
[00:45:16] <Tom_itx> i'm in no hurry to try it though
[00:45:27] <andypugh> Yeah. should be OK. I have some unbreakable taps (7/8 BSP)
[00:46:26] <Tom_itx> it has a groove cycle but i haven't set it up yet
[00:49:53] <andypugh> The pot ritual is that the chap to your right attracts your attention, and bows. he passes the pot, you bow, he takes the lid. You drink. you bow, he replaces the lid. you bow to your left, he takes the pot, you take the lid...
[00:50:53] <andypugh> This would be classed as "binge drinking" except we wear dinner-jackets :-)

[00:53:23] <Tom_itx> haha
[00:53:45] <andypugh> Yes, tomorrow evening. I wasn't actually going to attend, but I might have to now.
[00:54:56] <andypugh> Right, time to sleep in the hope of waking up without this annoying cough.,,

[13:52:06] <andypugh> Some encoder-like things that I saw on eBay turned up today. I have no idea what they really are but they were made by Librascope in 1963. They are called "shaft to digital encoder" and have lots of pins on the bottom. C, 0, /1, 2, /2, 3, /3, ...... 13, /13. I think that they might have been used as the interface between a mechanical integrator and a digital stage.
[13:53:02] <skunkworks> pictures?
[13:53:17] <andypugh> The manufacturer was Librascope, a division of General Precision. and that might be ringing bells with some of you, that was the mnufacturer of the LGP-30 immortalised in the story of "Mel the Programmer"
[13:54:33] <andypugh> skunkworks: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330859627467
[13:54:51] <andypugh> Same vintage as your machine, I guess?
[13:55:55] <andypugh> 28 pins on the bottom.
[13:57:29] <skunkworks> wow - no. the K&T had resolvers
[13:57:59] <skunkworks> the 70's vintage lathe had some sort of optical encoder for spindle sync
[13:59:37] <archivist> gray code optical?
[14:00:54] <andypugh> I have no idea.
[14:02:48] <andypugh> I get the feeling that they are so old that the internet has never heard of them.
[14:03:47] <archivist> spose you want me to lift Handbook of transducers for electronic measuring systems circa 1969 ...in box016....not seen that for a while
[14:03:55] <andypugh> Apprently the programmin manual for the LGP-30 was typewritten. As in, typed in full as required.
[14:04:30] <archivist> some of the manuals I have are typed
[14:04:46] <archivist> with real photographs
[14:06:52] <andypugh> My Thesis has real photographs. Even in 1993 digital imaging hadn't really caught on.
[14:08:11] <L84Supper> what features would be most helpful for a vision interface to EMC? edge detection, orientation, optical measurement etc etc?
[14:10:02] <archivist> all of the above
[14:10:16] <andypugh> Fiducial mark alignemt
[14:10:31] <andypugh> I think that some people have made some progress with it.
[14:10:50] <andypugh> Bit nothing has made it into the mainstream.
[14:11:14] <archivist> http://www.archivist.info/cnc/cnccam.html
[14:11:39] <L84Supper> we have to work on something similar to this anyway for a project, so I'd like to see it made useful for general use
[14:11:41] <archivist> that needs to be centred properly
[14:12:02] <skunkworks> that would be cool.

[14:17:07] <L84Supper> we need to have the vision system orient the part, and search for certain features and then coordinate a tool to perform work in that feature
[14:18:03] <archivist> andypugh, ok that book does not mention that maker
[14:19:25] <archivist> andypugh, some in this book are contact type so try a dvm on resistance across a pair
[14:20:31] <archivist> at that age the contact type is more likely especially with that many connections

[14:26:29] <andypugh> It sounds like mechanical contacs. I suspect it is intended for hand operation.
[14:26:46] <archivist> andypugh, or dvm to the C (common) and one of the many other contacts
[14:27:33] <andypugh> C to 0 beeps cyclically. I have not found any other contacts.
[14:27:37] <archivist> they mention a common in this book and the one of the companies id Litton, same first two characters
[14:27:52] <andypugh> Though I guess it could be multi-turn
[14:28:44] <andypugh> I think they will be going into the back of a cupboard as a warning not to drink and eBay..
[14:28:51] <archivist> hehe
[14:29:47] <archivist> I dont think I can blame drink for my odd stuff
[14:31:59] <andypugh> I can't help wondeirng if somewhere out there there is somebody needing these parts to finish his targetting computer restoration, or similar.
[14:32:32] <archivist> or aircraft restoration
[14:32:50] <andypugh> Indeed. Though I am not sure what they would do in an aircraft.
[14:33:44] <archivist> I have some odd stuff on a website and a few times a year I get rid of something when the buyers search for a rare part number
[14:34:30] <andypugh> That might be a reasonable idea. "Old stuff I have going spare"

[14:35:07] <archivist> best was a filter to a man in Inverness for his milling machine
[14:35:49] <archivist> I delivered it, because at the same time I got a cnc lathe...from him off ebay
[14:36:25] <andypugh> A curious coincidence
[14:36:49] <archivist> exceeeeeedingly
[14:37:39] <archivist> he realised my email address on the part number site was similar to my ebay handle
[14:41:56] <skunkworks> how about this. I was trying to call my girlfriend. A guy answers and said 'Hi sam' after a bit of WTF - I had dialed a distant cousin. (I didn't know his number)
[14:42:40] <Jymmm> you're dating your cousin?!
[14:42:49] <skunkworks> heh

[15:10:11] <JT-Shop> yes, it was a relay stuck closed on the tool changer board
[15:10:27] <JT-Shop> I had to remove the old one, solder on the new one and it's back to working

[15:35:50] <L84Supper> guard house and they got really nervous when i walked up and asked where the ATM was
