I've had a long absence from PM, still in the field but my hobby's had changed up some. With the recent purchased of a SB by a friend of mine I came back to this site to seek information.
I remembered how much I liked reading some of the post years ago and particularly by member JimK who has sadly passed away a number of years ago. So I decided to resurrect a post that some of you might like to read. Some of the contributing members are still with us but sadly some have passed on.

Between JimK, Joe Michaels and johnoder there were some great discussions that were very entertaining to read.
If I recall correctly, JimK worked at the National Bureau of Standards, almost blind he was never the less one hell of a machinist.
