Drawing of model of track on the bottom monorail.

Caption;-
Model exhibited before the Royal Society, May 8, 1907.

Extract from Chapter V;-
72. The gyroscope has been employed by Mr. Louis Brennan
with striking ingenuity and success, to ensure the
stability of a heavy car travelling on a single line
of rail, with its centre of gravity above the level
of the rail, as is seen in the accompanying illustrations....

A full description of the mechanism, with a mathematical
discussion on the subject, is given by Mr. H. Cousins
in the issue of Engineering for Nov. 21st, 1913,
and following numbers.

From the book
An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of
Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.
By Harold Crabtree M.A.
Formerly Scholar of Pembroke College, Cambridge
Assistant Master at Charterhouse
Longmans, Green and Co. 1923

Big Bertha Thing francis

To my brother-in-law Francis (RIP),
who I once called "as daft as a brush."
To his everlasting credit,
he replied "I know."

The greatest compliment,
my wife ever paid me,
was to say, that I did not hold a grudge.
Net surfers do not hold grudges,
but they are a bit short on victim support,
whichever side the victim comes from.

Hi Tony T.,

Hi Kevin John,
That goes for Kevin whats-his-face too.
Now let me get this straight, you are not corporate sponsered.
Microsoft has already pushed the button to close this newsgroup.
It was a dud. It was sitting there in public and nobody could
resist pushing the button, so they had to disable it.
Microsoft wants your postings on its proprietary newsgroup.
They have spammed 500 newsgroups with closure notices.
They lost their anti-trust case and nobody did an ATT&T on them.
US government bust proof and indestructable.

NB My previous two postings contain 3 copy postings which were
filtered.

Big Bertha Thing Deaf

One day God woke up, deaf-as-a-post. He could not hear anyone
speaking. Nothing, dinada, zilch, not even one line e-mail.
Fortunately it only lasted 6 days and He managed to keep himself busy.

A PPT takes 6 hours people time, 18 hours computer time. It just
seems longer.
