Mid life crisis? Surely it's missing the engine!
Happy birthday

Has anyone got an idea of how long a ground laid pump line for C25 concrete can be ? I will be looking to pump about 25 mtrs from the kerb edge or 20 mtrs off the 4 inch thick concreted drive way late on next year .

You should have photo'd it and put it on your cloud .You must be psychic. Its most likely in one of these, but I have to find the list.

If it's MOD and brass tank it's not a Tilley it's a Vapalux. Better than a Tilley.

They asked me if I wanted 30m or 60m ground line pump, 30m was my furthest point of excavation from the curb.

That's really cool, presumably it's using a Weston cell as a voltage reference?
I have no idea how or even if it works. its 113 years old though so if there is a cell in it its probably fubar.
Weston Standard Cells have a pretty infinite life.
When I was a young teen I rescued four from Cox & Danks scrap yard. They took the stuff from the Britannia Iron Works in Bedford. The lab technician at school mounted them up in nice boxes and for years afterwards they were used as part of the Wheatstone Bridge demonstrations.

It is a tilley. I have a few of each.
This one is being a pig, in all aspects./ But it will live again.
What I have found out it is a Tilley, the design and build confirms this. the Government stock number is from Civil defence and/or emergency oversea aid.
But it is a mix of all sorts of parts.
Warming up after a rebuild, new seals etc..
Then all of a sudden tank to valve seal let go.
A quick blow with CO2 had it out, coffee to let it cool and another strip.

I located a pigeon hole/shelving rack today it does need some dividers for the shelves, but I have a pattern so the plasma will get some use this week. Approx 7ft tall and 3ft wide so plenty of space.
Sorry no drawers.....
I also stumbled across a medium size paperweight for the workshop, although this will need to be introduced to the milling machine to sort the top out.
So another couple of projects to add to the "To Do List"....

That is a MOD pattern one. There are hundreds here. Virtually every workshop, including mine, has at least oneI located a pigeon hole/shelving rack today it does need some dividers for the shelves, but I have a pattern so the plasma will get some use this week.

Have you ever had a Tilley spotlamp? I found a completely unused pristine one on a demolition site must have been 1940's vintage. Never been fired it even had the paper tissue packing between the front glasses. Sold it on eBay to an Aussie guy who is a member of the lamplighter's guild of Australia he has it as the pride of his collection.
