Lathe No 2 Has left the Building
Lathe No2 sold on Ebay for £104 last night, and the guy just came over to collect it just now.
I photocopied the Mk2 littleJohn owners manual, the screwcutting section for him, and also included the excellent Edgar Westbury article on the Kinglett (http://modelenginenews.org/etw/kinglet/page1.html) hosted on Rons excellent www.modelenginenews.org website, which I have taken quite a fancy to.
As I wasn't paying attention he gave me £100 but teh extra £4 would have covered Ebay costs - oh well.
If I were to make the Kinglett, I would have to use solid alloy for instead of the castings, and the skew timing gears look very rpoblematic, so I may redraw this with teh head rotated 90 degrees and the cam in line with teh crank running from spur gears.
