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
