Commutator Skim (not DIY)

[John]

Wow - saw a slip ring on a 22,000HP motor being prepared to be skimmed in situ today. About 2 ft diameter. Hope to see the machine used to do the job.

Makes the washing machine look feeble.

1 of 5 used to drive compressors. Start on 11,000 volts - then down to 8Kv when up to speed. Used for an industrial process.

Colliery winding engine?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember tony sayer saying something like:

Drivel's Priapus.

I guess it'll take a bit more than a transformer and a file!

I saw a TV program a few years ago about old Blackpool trams being restored. Seeing the commutator turned down like that was quite satisfying.

Did you spell prolapse incorrectly there ?

[Doctor Drivel]

Maxie, how is your prolapse? Is the Pelvis playing up? Not nimble enough to get away from the bailiffs? Life is a bummer Maxie. A real bummer. I hope it doesn't affect your Paddy bandness. That would be a bummer for you.

Do the other inmates probe your anal cavity for you then, drivel ?

bet you like that

[Doctor Drivel]

Maxie, I have never heard of these ways. You are such a revelation. Is that what you are up to? Fantastic Maxie! Truly fantastic. This shows your zeal for knowledge. Fabulous. You will go far Maxie, you will drag yourself out of the gutter. You keep asking all those people on the streets to borrow a fiver and your dreams will come true. Or are you offering anal services for the fiver? Maxie, you are a true entrepreneur. Fantastic.
