RF, except for WiFi, had not been mentioned. I did not suggest that it was the best solution, nor the least expensive. However, if line-of-sight is possible and the distance is not too great, it certainly would work. Whether the rf signal is provided by the microphone or a mixer feeding a transmitter is immaterial to the concept. If the production is of sufficient interest, it might be possible to get a local radio station to set up a remote unit and broadcast the program. I have been involved with a number of fireworks displays where the music for the choreographed display was broadcast by an FM station. Unless all options are considered, the best solution might not be selected. We do not know the constraints of the problem, so cannot discard any possibility outright. That is a decision that will have to be made by the person posing the initial questions.

ALL of the Craftsman tools are made under contract, many by major brands. At one time, Emerson Electric was a major supplier, the same folks who produce the Ridgid brand. And, yes, all of the major outlets who have OEM relationships specify custom versions for their stores. I've heard that sometimes extends to produce sold under the "major" brand as well, i.e. the DeWalt tools sold at Home Depot are made to a different specification than DeWalt tools sold elsewhere. This may be urban myth. I don't know.

Typically used to mark an in-trim (but could use on and out-trim). The device will come to rest atop the rope-lock housing and predetermine the spike. The ones I have are very old and brass.

Knuckle buster is a type of clamp designed to go around a piece of rope and act as a "stop". It was commonly used on the operating line of a counter- weight system in place of a trim mark. The knuckle buster was put on the front line of the rope and when it hit the rope lock, you stopped pulling. It was called a knuckle buster because, if you weren't paying attention, it hit your hand first, then the lock. Back to you, Keith. Bill S.

He recommends using Seuthe brand smoke machines, which you should be able to get from a hobby shop. According to him, these units put out a fair amount of smoke. He also suggested two ways of increasing the smoke. You can apply a little more voltage than it's rated for. Apparently these units will withstand overvoltages. I'm not familiar with the units, so I cannot comment on whether or not that will work (or if it's safe - if a model boat overheats and catches fire, it's surrounded by plenty of fire-extinguishing materials, unlike a model truck in a theatre). The second thing he suggested was: if there's room inside the model, create a reservoir cavity, and have the smoke build up inside the reservoir. At the appropriate time, turn on a fan inside the truck to blow the smoke out. This also has the benefit of being able to control more precisely when the smoke appears. -- Jim Hyslop ------------------------------ Message-ID: <45D53F85.20805 [at] dreampossible.ca> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 00:22:13 -0500 From: Jim Hyslop Organization: Dreampossible Inc.
