There has been a short period of 'radio silence' on this blog due to a badly-timed but much needed holiday for yours truly. Things have not been static whilst away so the blog will need to do some catching up.
One thing that has appeared is the electric striker mechanism to replace that missing from one of the Emett machines that will be on display in Birmingham. Now all we need is a bell. We have ordered a solid brass 8" ships bell that will be adapted by shaving the standard hanging bracket away and drilling a 3/8th" hole to take a hollow bolt. This bolt will fix the striker mechanism in place and allow cables to pass through unseen. This bell will play an important role every 15 minutes marking the beginning of each period of machine operation in the exhibition.
Team Billington will be taking on this task shortly.
