Hijack away Alan! It’s all part of the same story! 😉

I’d like to take a look at your handbook sometime if that’s okay – sounds interesting…

I can’t help with the answer to your question Elliott, but it is an interesting subject.

I have a 1939 S.B.A.C. Handbook and Directory which is full of such companies, most now long gone.

In a similar vein, and without hi-jacking your thread, does anyone know exactly where Rotax ended up? I don’t mean the Canadian manufacturer (at least, I don’t think I do), I’m referring to the manufacturer of so much wartime electrical equipment. The Company’s archives would occupy me for many hours!

Hi OS

I have seen some of them, again none have been detailed enough but i’ll take another look.

Let’s see…. :p

Thanks for all your advice everyone. There is lots to be getting on with here and plenty of new things to try.

Cheers!

With something small like that a quick blast with an air nozzle should remove all of it… (walnut).
If the parts are fairly stout a fine glass bead leaves a nice finish.

Alan – surely nitromors will do this without a problem. Then give it a good scrub and wash.

Not quite the same thing but, what would anyone recommend for stripping paint from magnesium alloy, that didn’t harm the integretiy of the metal in anyway?
Might be worth a new thread, but I will try this first as we are in Chemistry mode!
Cheers, Alan.
