Gentlemen, found my copy of subject book
 Threading Information Atlas 6" Lathes"- Atlas Press
 while finally reorganizing my
books and information of machining started in 1956 as student
shop helper working way through college at $1.00/hour
cleaning Institutes lathes, milling machines, floors, etc;
tuition $350.00/ semester  ... has it been that long?  :bugeye:

I would like to share it with all as it contains over 61 pages of  combinations for
threading, especially for metric combinations, especially  with my find of the
"Position D" special extension bracket assembly.

<< https://www.ebay.com/itm/196286042637?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 >>

Would appreciate advice and guidance on how to upload jpeg images of pages
that I willing to  scan.

The Atlas 6" 'American Iron' with all its appurtenances still exceeds imports.

So envied the real tool and die makers who turned out unique
products for inventions and incipient precursors to  CNC machines.
Retirement allows reliving trying to emulate their native skills.

Ahem ... not yet delusional to dream to ever be that good.

Detailed guidance for octogenarian please for posting page images.

Best to all and thanks for years of valuable  and generous information
for self learning.

Hope you can get sorted soon. I know how frustrating forced absence from the workshop can be.

I feel your pain Bill. I never would have imagined how my little medical issue would affect concentration, yet it still is.

I tried to get back to the dro today, but the brain just wouldn't work.  Hopefully a medication review will fix some of the small issues I having (like farting enough to embarrass a vegetarian!).

I just tried a photo from my Google Drive.

Although the link doesn't work if inserted using the Insert Image button if you use Insert Hyperlink button the link to the photo on the web appears.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByxY2AT-A1L-WkczQkR6RTJUZFU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-wmYCFdGnZD8jMDeSRDVlbw

Does this link show a photo of an MDF loco wheel for everyone?  It does for me!

Just having a brain fart it has been years since we stopped using Photobucket and they keep saying ( Over and Over) they are going to delete our account but never do in my mind that is harassment and we should look into a class action suit. Any thoughts?
Tom,
I'm fairly sure that the links of photos from Photobucket stopped working when they announced they were going to charge. I found another host and just edited the links to the new host.
I told Photobucket to close my account some time ago. Emails stopped and I just tried to log in and can't.
It's unfortunate that links to Google Photos or Google Drive don't work.
Phil.
