This is the DPDT situation you mention, I think. The SPDT is like one half of the DPDT switch. You can have three-position centre-off switch or just a two-position switch, which has no 'off' position.

I'm not really into the Northern stuff, but that is bloody lovely.

Maybe there's more of a problem on the "Mainland", with some lines at quite an altitude ( over 1,000' in places ) and lines way up North into Scotland?

Wanted: Skaledale Canal Lock Chamber - R8647
Broithe replied to DiveController's topic in For Sale or Wanted
If you do build your own, remember that both sets of gates 'point' uphill when shut - the right-hand, lower, gates on this lock wouldn't work, if the water was real... -
A bit of re-working and you've got the start of a great song there - let's hope we don't get caught in a landslide...?
-
It's only ten on a Saturday night, there's time yet....

Really great stuff here. The chains are nice - can you remember the source?
-
Great shot!

The side/up force seems likely to be fairly obvious immediately. On another site, probably as a result of this discussion, I have just received a pop-up banner advert... "If you can fix this - (picture of bicycle) - then you can fix this - (picture of submarine)" - clicking this banner leads to this - https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/engineers . I do hope that they have a rather more rigorous supplementary selection procedure. It does bring to mind a picture of all the lads pedalling like mad to get the sub going....

Women call this "multi-tasking" and regard it as a virtue.

...psychology...

I have a (nearly) finished model that I started in 1978.

Maybe it was also required for the braking action? Whoops - note to self - read it all first!

The act of surfacing and the collision can be the same thing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehime_Maru_and_USS_Greeneville_collision .

First Class. Sorted. ..and other mail-related puns - a grand job, though..

Quite right.

My party-piece is my Sean Connery impression. You are a *****... . ...for shore eyesh. Crikey - I've been auto-censored - you'll have to work it out for yourselves.

Does the Garda Sub-Aqua Unit have a speed gun?

1982. An initial denial, before a subsequent identification.
-
That's all part of the 'game'. Most of the identified collisions locally have been with UK subs, I'm not aware of a Russian ever being shown to be involved in one of these trawler drags, but a lot remain unidentified, of course. UK subs often collide with Scotland, such as the unfortunately named HMS Astute - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Astute_%28S119%29#Aground_on_Skye - and even with a French submarine - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7892294.stm .
-
Likelihood would be UK - US - Russian - French - in that descending order, I would think. But, nobody will admit it was theirs, unless they are caught red handed. Standard practice now is to say nothing. In the past, people have denied it was theirs, then identifying parts have been found in the retrieved fishing gear. Doesn't have to be from a nuclear state, of course, plenty of diesel-electrics out there, too.
-
They may not have been aware of the boat before they collided with it - but they will have been aware of the collision with the fishing gear and the subsequent force on their vessel from the drag.
-
It is very unlikely that they would not be well aware.
-
Excellent!!

Used to go on quite a lot years ago. Very nasty.
