    Default 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 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
