@GrandPrixDiary Yep THREE DRIVER TEAM won the race. Multi tech team and computers got thr CAR DSQ.

This Verstappen bloke sounds handy, he should be in F1.

@LivingTricks_ Like footware, a company had an age limit on each PPE. I was on a visit/audit on one site and the safety advisor checked my hard hat. 3 months out of date !! Fetched a NEW one from stores. 18 months out of date !!

@wokingcouncil Which demonstrates how poor Woking autureply both is in checking a post for relevance.

@pdfbt40 Good morning. If you have a query about your Woking Borough Council council tax bill, please email: counciltaxbill@woking.gov.uk

"Nobody loves paying their council tax, so the least we can do is make it easier for them...." That's TV spoke to @wokingcouncil's Cllr Dale Roberts about what they're doing to help residents with their council tax billing. #woking #surrey #council #tax #bills

@SportmphMark But these 'faults' were pointed out 2 years ago after initial draft was issued. As usual, what interaction with stakeholders and simulator testing been carried out, by FIA to tweak the systems to true racing. I thought so!!

The clues to the way forward were all there in Shanghai in a way they were not in Melbourne.

@mechanical_4u Where did it come in a Which efficiency test ?

Before modern washers, laundry ran on pure mechanics. A 1930s Easy Washer used an oscillating agitator to churn clothes clean Laundry used to be one of the most time consuming chores in the home. Early electric washers like the Easy washing machine helped change that by using a powered agitator to move clothes through water and soap instead of relying on hand scrubbing. Inside the tub, a mechanical agitator moves back and forth rather than spinning continuously. The three cup shaped plungers push water through the laundry with each oscillation, forcing soap and water through the fabric to loosen dirt and grime. Designs like this were a major step toward modern automatic washers. By letting the machine create the scrubbing motion, households could wash larger loads of clothing with far less manual effort than traditional washboards or hand washing.

@jwsanders2011 @sunriseblade @NoWayWoke The fuse is rated for the flex is protecting. The plug use to be supplied with 13amp or 3amp If you had a fault on a 0.5mm flex the 13amp would probably pop after it caught fire.

@sunriseblade @NoWayWoke That's a safety issue. Should ALWAYS be fitted with a 13amp fuse.

I might not have gone to University, but at least I know how to wire a plug! bLue to the left bRown to the right

@OnDisasters I still like the story that the McClaren Baby Buggy was designed by a Boeing landing gear engineer and not as a Formula 1 spin off.

The MiG-23's exquisite - but space-saving - landing gear

@GrandPrixDiary Where's the JPS Norton motorcycle ??

Considering that Nigel Mansell was capable of injuring himself just getting out of bed, the fact this stunt ended safely, braking on grass, by water, with parked cars and people all over the place is truly miraculous.

@bolderston_mark Good power train in a Bond 375.

Your Thoughts please

@a30aew @OnDisasters Bristol Scou is mentioned as a first composite aircraft in 1916. Well know, initially for wing structural issues is the German Albatros D.III with smooth semi-monquoc in 1917. Must have been others before DH88 Comet.

@pdfbt40 @OnDisasters Laminated plywood fuselage I believe. Sandwich construction was rarely employed in fuselage structures but for the F-111 & XB-70A (skin panels - metal core & facings, welded on XB-70A) and Beech Starship (carbon fibre fuselage barrel).

@agbdrilling And now, thanks to Trump, some politician wants a UK built Trident 'Chinese Copy'.

The UKs Black Arrow Space Rocket Programme Cancelled in the early 1970s The era when Thunderbirds was the inspiration for most British designs 🇬🇧🙂

@CcibChris And yet, like the Hawk, a front line support function.

Docile little aircraft. My first jet solo in 1965 from RAF Wymeswold.

@historyinmemes Doesn't B777 or B787 have folding wing tips (but no arrestor hook ?)

Could modern jets match this level of mechanical elegance?

@ConnorJHeath Wasn't there a couple of years using a Ford Essex I4 engine?

@ConnorJHeath Original Saab was a 3 cylinder 2 Stroke. I'm sure I remember a Triumph I4 engine with a transaxle in front. I had to straighten the selector shaft !!

Today I learnt that if it wasn’t for the fuel crisis, instead of the 99 turbo we would’ve ended up with a Saab 99 with a 3 litre Triumph stag V8.

@OnDisasters But as a stretch, rearward GoG DC10, I'd think the structural/fatigue strength was pretty well proven as with major redesign of doors, control systems, hydraulics, electrical, for true redundancy.

MD-11 stall test. Given the size of the tail structure - not mentioning it has a WHOLE ENGINE IN IT! - the fact it shakes and rattles like that - but it won´t break - is a testament to its engineering

@Spalders I wonder if he use to do morning sessions for cars as well, in the same 'quiet' way. Anybody witness/know? What car? Cooper 500 ??

My first ever ride on track was in, I think, 1980 at the then Honda sponsored Brands Hatch Racing School. I remember an old guy in black leathers turning up with a grey Motorcycle and doing some incredibly quick and smooth laps while we were out on our sessions. It was Surtees running in his Vincent Grey Flash after a major rebuild…

Missed this yesterday... John Surtees passed nine years ago on the 10th March 2017.. 7 times a Motorcycle world champion and uniquely once a F1 world champion too. RIP Mr Surtees.. youtube.com/watch?v=tQ4vz9…

@denkmit And tyre rubbers are even more incompatible than Supercup.

Someone in the know has just reminded me that Qatar hosting F1 and MotoGP back to back (let alone simultaneously) might well be impossible given that there needs to be significant alterations to kerbs and gravel traps
