WHAT'S NEW - June 2009
Harrogate 2009 - Glad you could make it!
It was a great pleasure for us to meet up again at Harrogate. The show was very well attended and the weather was kind. Our next 2 shows will be:
- Myford's Autumn Show at their Beeston factory from the 24th - 26th of September.
- The Midlands ME Exhibition at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre from 16th - 20th of October.
Beyond the opportunity to see Hemingway Kits and their latest products, both of these exhibitions constitute a thoroughly good day-out.
New Catalogues - W150 & E120 Available
Just out and available to download . You'll see a few new items have been included:
-
Our new Multi-Position Saddle Stop suits the Myford 7 Series range, including the ML7 and Super 7 lathes . Where a run of turned components is required from the lathe, this attachment will very quickly earn its keep. In fact, the device is fitted and removed so quickly that you will even save time when producing a single part!
 This great new design allows for up to 6 separate axial carriage positions to be set on a rotating turret. Each stop can be adjusted with a vernier or slip gauges depending on the accuracy required. In action, the saddle can be wound along to a stop with certain and repeatable precision. The turret is then revolved to the next detent position to complete the next operation. The attachment fits to the right of the lathe's apron at the front
of the bed. No modification to your lathe is required and the project is quite straightforward.
-
Tungsten Points - If you've ever tried to find these you'll know that they're as rare as hens' teeth ! Well, by sheer chance, we've found a small stock of these left over from the 70's. These pure tungsten discs (Ø0.160" x 0.045") can be brazed to spring steel to create a completely authentic contact breaker system for your period engine. Get them while you can!
-
Its been a long time coming but we've finally managed to launch the first of our new range of External Combustion engines.
The Ransome & May Mill Engine was a small horizontal steam engine (9ft long with a 6ft flywheel....) sold globally in the 1850's. Producing 8nhp, the original would have powered local flour mills, breweries, laundries and small engineering works from here to Moscow. Interestingly, the average UK household needs a peak power supply of 7nhp (5kw) to accommodate all the 'essentials' of modern life!
This is an accurate 1/12th scale replica of an early and elegant prime mover - just perfect for experimentation and exhibition.
-
The "Exciter" high tension coil available for model IC engine applications is now available in 2 versions - Standard and Twin-Spark. The conventional 3-wire, Standard version is
suitable for single cylinder applications and all “multis” operating with a distributor mechanism.
This includes every spark ignition engine in our range!
The 4-wire coil is capable of being used for Twin-Spark
operation, offering a simplified ignition for twin
cylinder engines such as the Seagull, Wallaby and
Aero V Twin by firing both plugs without a distributor.
A few Casting Shortages - Sorry for the delay...
We're still having a few challenges with certain items but casting are beginning to flow (!). We'll let you know when you order if there's likely to be a delay.
