It has been hectic at work with several interesting projects coming my way and a little bit more responsibility (no more money) but nonetheless.

I have made a little progress with the Anglia.

The little motor and gear box are from MFA Como Drils and can be set up to deliver a fearsome reduction in RPM. The pulley on the paddle shaft is about 44mm diameter and the result is too slow!

Mind you there is a lot of slip in the system and I might be able to edge the speed up by reducing this wasted effort.

Back to the paper. I also gave the bows a make over. It is gum strip over blue foam. Rhinoplasty, with work that good I should specialise!

I'm glad to see that work on Anglia continues. Nice motor arrangement in the classic tradition.

And fine work on that clipper(?) bow,
