Matt Wood Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 First, don't you know its half three over there? What are you doing up? Second, that must be a really nice set! I think I got rid of what few Whitworths I had when I sold the bike. As I usually do at silly o'clock in the morning , learning something, today it's revision and lectures for my mechanical engineering degree, maths tonight. I think I may make a correction and say it goes up to 32... I also think it has 6 WW sockets, I've never had to use one but they're there if I need 😂 These are the only pictures I can find online of the kit, its that old!

That's cool! Even a speed wrench. Dad had one, but in all my years I've never seen a need to use it. An ME! I love that! I started as a EE but ended up in Math & Physics. But the base courses were the same from EE to ME. Lots of good stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever used it in desperation when I've run out of extentions and I need just that little extra 😂 not its intended purpose im sure lol I've already got a degree in manufacturing engineering but im now specialising in ME, funny thing is I actually was pushed by work to do an EE degree because I'm quite knowledgeable but my heart is in ME and always will be!

I could easily have gone ME. Grew up taking EVERYTHING apart, mechanical or electrical. But in high school I got into amateur radio and understood electronics so went that way. Then I did a couple of semesters in graduate school and had a course called Parallel Systems. In it we learned that you can model an electrical system with a mechanical system, either hydraulic or pneumatic. And it all made sense. Lots of parallels.

Rembrant Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 While on the topic of this nut... Where the radius arm attaches to the TTB beams, there is a stud on the top and a bolt on the bottom. Do they both thread into the beam, or is there a loose hex nut on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 They both thread into the beam... Ahh, OK, so there are stationary nuts then? Or nuts welded inside the beams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
