I'm not sure what happened with the edit but my suggestion refers to what appears to be the plaster delamination and not the paint issue. For the paint, is it possible the base is too "lime" hot for the paint? If so it will need to be sealed for any acrylic to work. Do a ph test on the wall...

It looks to me like you have a keying (bonding) problem between the base and finish coat. If the base coat is still solid then your best option is probably a liquid key. If possible avoid using gypsum with lime and vice versa. At 100 years your wall is on the cusp and could go either way. Also...

36" tig welding rods might work but what about a broom? Cut it to length, put a point on the end and pound it into the ground. A push broom that also has a threaded hole on the top might offer interesting options also.

Another thread reminded me of this. Sometime, probably in the 70's Suzuki said something like this, for something to be "real" it has to have a least one piece of retrievable information. One example he gave that I remember was a point in space. I remember this example because of his...

Sorry, stall speed and rotational equilibrium. Accepting a steady RPM without a change in acceleration as rotational equilibrium where torque is zero.

I had many doubts about saying anything to a subset of a community about that community. My thoughts are not directed at any individual or personality but they are about my experiences. There is a long history of "experts" in the "public eye," but today with the explosion of social media or just...

As an agent for a European auto co. in the 90's I met and worked a lot with Jim Thornton. He's credited as the inventor of the Funny Car and torque cancelling chassis along with being the driver for Chrysler's Ramcharger Team and Head of their racing division. We spent a fair share of time...

No argument with you when referring to engines or vehicles with manual transmissions. A vehicle with an automatic transmission will have it's RPM, HP and torque relationship determined by the choice of torque convertor.

I long ago gave up on expecting anything from anybody. As far as your work, possibly life's work goes, it's up to you to choose its value and if it has any inherent need for dissemination as a public good. It's unrealistic though to expect the general public to subscribe to journals and expect...

There was a time when I probably would have agreed with you. If it wasn't for the journalists the health issues and needed services demanded because of Agent Orange would still be denied vets and now their children. Your subject matter experts squeezed their cheeks in fear of the backlash from...

The OP has never been back so addressing peripheral issues as they are brought isn't interfering with the OP's question. That aside, the OP's question was answered. Directly with a number like you've done? No. Where the OP can go to find the standards to the question, yes. In the US the...

Thanks for the replies but they were rhetorical questions. Poorly done I gather? In the 60's NASA gave it a name, Rotogravic Environment. Something I learned in a lecture along with this, In the early years NASA was protective of it's work being defined by popular culture rather then...

Does pack journalism existing have anything to do with a void left by scientists and researchers?

Sorry my fault. How does this induced gravity as you call it differ from actual gravity? What is it if not gravity?

Powertrain matching...
