Absolutely fascinating - thanks for the link.

Wonderful machines, especially the rotary version. I'd love to see one in action at first hand.

How anyone can make a comment about the CNC doing it better. Pride comes before the fall. It is nice to  see a real master workmanship. And that is a gift to learn and to be able to do such fine work. Fabulous!!!

  Nice machine, made in good old Brum, would love to find out more about G Plant and son of Harborne, a stones throw from the Jewellery quarter

Doesn't seem like there is any trace of them on the net, like most pioneering engineering excellence designed here.

I do not understand what 10 has to do with binary???

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't

One - Zero is '2' in binary  ie One '2' bit plus no 'One' bit ..

So, for 8 bits ...

1 1 1 1   1 1 1 1

Reading left to right, the decimal weighting is 128: 64: 32: 16:    8: 4: 2: 1:
The right hand bit being the low order bit ..

You've lived a sheltered life ... you need to get out more

Nelson - just to follow on from what BC wrote - the "trick" is that 10 binary is in fact 2 in our more human-oriented decimal system - so what the tagline says, in decimal, is that there are only 2 types of people ....

Similarly, there are only 3 types of people in the world - those who can count, and those who can't....
