    Ssen pylons

    PWR reactors are really the wrong technology, and were developed because Admiral Rickover wanted them for his submarines and aircraft carriers, also they make bomb material. They need active safety systems, which need safety systems to ensure the primary system works, and so on. Molten salt...

    Today at work

    Years ago we were discing on the alluvial soils on the Holkham marshes (now a nature reserve) when it got really wet. We ended up with a big ball of mud with a drawbar on it.

    Herbert potato bulk hopper

    I think the grader had a much smaller drive. The gearbox we need fits on a 60mm diameter shaft - if yours is like that please let me know.

Spares for the gearbox or a new one are quoted at 6 weeks delivery, so we are looking for one we could buy the gearbox from. Please PM me if you know...

It does an excellent job on the mix of oats and beans, nice and quiet, no dust. We are impressed, and not silly money. Control panel uses a Mitsubishi Alpha taken off...

    Industry-wide Assurance Review officially launched

    I was listening to The Food Programme on BBC R4 last week, on about contamination and dilution of herbs and spices to make them cheaper. Some of the adulterated samples came from BRC and SALSA accredited suppliers. If stuff can get past BRC accreditation (which makes RT look like the...
