Subject: Re: [TSSP] pn2511 is baloney
HI Paul, I have not had any luck trying to print the pn2511 document and now the server won't let me download it. Could you send me a hard copy please or send it on floppy or cd to save the printing costs whatever is most convenient for you My address is 2 Fletchers Terrace Cambridge cb1 3lu tel 01223 212609 I have almost got to the limit on spark length in the museum, around 2.5 metres the walls are getting in the way, so I guess it is time to do some measurements. cheers bob Paul wrote: > bob golding wrote: > > > I have been sitting on the sidelines of this list mainly > > because I am not good at the maths. > > Hi Bob, it's a while since we heard from you.
