and I've been beaten to the punch!!!

(Seriously, I have been working on this for over 20 years... I am* now at the stage of 3D printing my parts, with tolerances in the micrometres)

*was


Kids! Let this be a lesson - don't wait to realize your dreams! Someone will come along and beat you to it.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
