Metrology tour
Christian and Jayson
As a couple of the originals have dropped out I would say that you both are IN.
For those that have dropped out I will try and organise another tour.

I tried very hard to get the time off but the boiler refit is taking up too much of my time.
Have a great day gentlemen.
Big thanks for organizing this Roger.

Thanks again to Roger for organising a great tour.
And to the gentlemen and lady who talked us through what they do there.
Wish I had spent more time on this picture. Loses some detail went converted.

Thanks to Roger and his son for a fascinating look into the esoteric world of high end metrology, so much precision and exotic gear in the one place it was a bit overwhelming.
The Taylor Hobson roundness machine was one of the stars of the show...
The picture that Stuart posted is of a kilogram standard made of Silicon, there was a guy in Sydney who could make these, mostly hand polished, and the roundest thing you'd every be likely so see.
I'll put up some pictures in a few days.
Regards
Ray
