I'm ceasing all contact with you Pete, for fear that the whole web site will crash!

Forgot to mention that when I was working near Cleckheaton in the mid '80s,I touched the old
stone gatepost belonging to the factory the Luddites marched to.It's all that is left and wasn't
even commemorated.I think some of the mystic "fluence" must have rubbed off.
Cheers,
Pete.

I have difficulty equating your self-appointed role as forum Luddite with your construction of such a splendid soap-box-derby-winning projectile.

There's no electric type,IT magic in my soap box,nearest to that is a basic wired cycle computer!
Anything involving nuts and bolts,tie wraps and gaffer tape I'm in with a chance,I'm afraid I was
brought up on log tables not calculators and computers.I may have stood a chance with a proper Babbage engine.
It,s all the acronyms and the not logical,at
least to me,way the systems work that fox me.
Cheers,
Pete.
