Re: Rarity and curiousity
OMG Brian - you're almost correct! Only this evening I've been
attempting to replicate a version of Thomas Fowler's ternary
calculating machine made out of Meccano for an upcoming show.
Balanced ternary arithmetic has some amazing properties!

Ah Tobyjj - like several other 4-letter words, we don't like to use the 'L' word in Meccano circles! ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Btw, today is Meccano inventor Frank Hornby's 150th. birthday, hence today's Google logo.

Re: Rarity and curiousity
Brian, that's the sort of piano on which I'd have loved to
have played duets with my rather attractive piano teacher!![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Unfortunately, it was the 'pupil' after me who, I was convinced
at the time, played primo to her secondo or vice-versa.![Sad :-(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Regards, Tim.

Is this what you get if you take the 'c' and the 't' from a Kia Picanto?
