I'm resizing my pics at the moment which have to be done one at a time (yeah I know, 'sucks to be me) but they are coming.

Here are the pics.
My brain size is measured in nanometres and to say I got an information overload would be the understatement of the century.
If I have any info that is completely ridiculous, please jump in and correct me.

We ran out of time to look at the time measurement area where they test all the speed cameras.
Good thing though as I would probably start smashing equipment lol.

Thanks for the pics Phil.
It looks to me like the item on the tallyronds table is held there with red-tac (like blue-tac only red...) ??
Those quality V blocks, was that sarcasm or not?
Cheers,

Heaps of sarcasm involved in the 'V' blocks but as you can see, even I wouldn't use anything else but those for the length rods.

That cylinder on the Tallyrond is solid tungsten carbide. I suspect the plasticine is there to remind people not to move it. Its weight would be plenty to hold the cylinder in place....

I have found that cow s*#t reduces its ability to stick. If you then put your boots in the freezer next to the ice cream for a couple hours the bubblegum comes off quite easily. Doesn't taste the same tho Originally Posted by Steamwhisperer

Almost forgot.
A short clip of the Talyrond in action.
Andrew turned it on and I hit record on the camera
The stylus should be in contact with the cylinder and apologies for the sound.

Glad that I wasn't the only one ''nanoed'' out,especially when used to working thous and occasionally tenths. A once in a life time experience to tour this facility.Plus one too Phil would have beat you to the speed camera calibration equippe. John. Originally Posted by Steamwhisperer
