Fig. 5. Linda Tool mates its custom fixtures to a modular zero-point clamping system with receivers by Lang and Erowa, which allows the entire pallet and workpiece to be placed in and removed from the machine quickly. When it’s time for finish machining, the part is held entirely by the screws from underneath rather than being pinched or squeezed, which allows the light finishing cuts to take place without distortion compromising the overall accuracy.

A week of celebrations ran in conjunction with the openings, including a re-enactment of Shortland’s landing at the mouth of the Hunter, a harbour regatta, boxing at Newcastle Stadium, a surf and swimming carnival and a fireworks display.

There were more celebrations the next day, and men charged with drunkenness all gave the same excuse: “Was celebrating V-Day”, and all were discharged with the same verdict: “Admonished and discharged.”    

The whole project took 9 months to complete. The team followed very stringent quality measures during each stage of construction. As per the original plan, They finally had a neat and clean, hand crafted body with no burning, cutting or weld marks on it. Despite it took 9 months to complete the rebuild, there was not any trace of surface rust of stains while it was handed over for painting.

As a fellow veterinarian, I am hoping you can help me. My wife Nancy has two cow dogs that will readily obey commands to sit and stay until they get near a cow. Then they chase the critter and can’t hear a word we say. It’s very obvious to me that they go deaf near livestock.

All was going well, as the photographs would show. John was doing the perfect imitation of a qualified veterinary surgeon. He penetrated the abdomen authoritatively and immediately the bladder of a blue whale welled up through the incision! John recoiled in terror as the mass came at him like a driver’s side air bag!

 He sent a letter to his father a year later saying his discovery would “in a little time . . . be a great acquisition to the settlement”. 

When Paul finally got home he saw that his cows were out. Probably in search of water. With the dog’s help he managed to get the migrating cattle back into the barn lot. He headed for the well.

PALE MOON GANG reflects the raw aggressiveness and tender underbelly of New York, the city they call home. With riffs that grab you and won’t let go, the GANG creates a smoldering energy that rides on a wave of pure rock’n'roll. Lead vocalist/guitarist Richard Dev Greene was born and raised in New York City.

This CPD discusses the use of aluminium standing seam roof and wall cladding systems. The original “unhole-y roof” concept was developed in the US in the 1960s, inspired by the efficiency and flexibility of the zips used to fasten clothing. Unperforated sheets of metal were profiled with one small roll standing seam and one large roll standing seam, and secured by placing the sheets over halter clips, with the large roll of one sheet overlapping the small roll of the adjacent sheet. They were then sealed firmly together using a “zipping” machine to close the large roll of the standing seam tightly over the small roll, leaving a secure standing seam. Roll-formed standing seam roofing was first introduced to Europe in 1968, with the opening of a factory in Stuttgart. Today, the concept has evolved and it is possible to achieve complex shapes and geometries, and to use standing seam systems for a range of building roofs and walls.

In the cold room in Edinburgh, I condense this story to its bare essentials. I tell the doctor that I fell, on holiday, several years ago, and that ever since then I am prone to sudden and acute injuries from strangely little cause.
