Given that the congress took place in 1900 then the data in the drawing relates to an earlier date- as to when is not known to me. As an example, the plate shows the arrangement of a 1:8 common crossing with a "9ft Vee", that suggests that the Vee has leg ...

As an aside I have Corel Draw 10 on my PC and I can make it do what I need it to do- the manual is still in the box because I can't be bothered to read it.

... 11548 Photographs on there. That's an amazing record. How long have you been doing them? I was a keen hillwalker and always had a thing about taking snaps up mountains, probably inspired by W.A.Poucher's guide books. Pressure on finances meant I didn't get a decent camera until I inherited my father's Yashica rangefinder in 1979, and things then took off. An SLR in 1989, my first digicam in 2000, and so on. Pics mostly Scotland and Wales. Spent 6 months in hospital in 2006 with spinal cord damage, courtesy of a rare medical event; thanks to the NHS I walked out. Recovering at home and scouring the web for my favourite haunts I stumbled across Geograph. Ideal. Over about 3 years loaded up my archive, with many great memories, and it was an incentive to go and explore places and take a reasonable number of pics. Couple of Scottish trips a year are a good source. Tailed off a bit last year due to bladder/kidney stone ops in the summer/autumn, but also because my Golf ...

... and has had 11 responses (this makes 12) and yet only 7 people have bothered to vote in Martin's poll. Martin has asked us a question that could affect how TEMPLOT works. Do we really not care? If this apathy is typical of TEMPLOT users maybe Martin should give up and go play golf instead of working all hours of night and day to give us the amazing product that he has and with the unbelievable support. Again, Martin has asked us a question. Whatever our answer, we owe him the courtesy of a response. Glen posted: 3 Mar 2009 15:07 from: Paul Boyd Glen (& Martin) I sense a problem with the way the forum works here. Until Glen's post, I didn't know there was an actual poll set up for this despite having read& contributed to the thread- I read Martin's post as asking for opinions, which I've given. I do have a pretty good idea as to why people haven't voted on the poll though- when you click on the link in the email ...

Hope the pic of the offending prototype single slip makes sense.

I can also see how trying to write instructions for tandems is impossible given the almost infinite variety of combinations- which makes understanding the basic principles all the more useful.

Kind regards, Stuart posted: 28 Jul 2013 13:56 from: Tony W Hi Stuart. You will now need to adjust the length of the turnout for the third crossing using "Do> Blank up to V-crossing" and adjust the blanking length with ctrl+ F3 if necessary. You can adjust the overall length with the F4 key. You now have the timbering to sort out via the shove timbers ...

... tried dragging the file from Finder into the Templot window-& that did not work. So, what can I do, please? Hopefully, a simpler task is finding all my stored templates on the old computer& transferring them over: would the Pug also be somewhere on the old system& be easier to copy over via a memory stick? Everything has some problems, especially when the system is very different. Off Templot topics, it is noticeable that, for example, my old WordPerfect Office (which is run courtesy of Fusion) is far better than Apple's iWork '08. But I am really delighted with the changeover to Mac- it is brilliant! It just takes time to learn. posted: 21 Mar 2008 19:06 from: Martin Wynne Raymond Gibson wrote: would the Pug also be somewhere on the old system& be easier to copy over via a memory stick?
