LADDERS, BUT WITH STEPS

LADDERS, BUT WITH STEPSSomehow, helping Ivan Andreyevich, the old man at seventy plus, to refurbish the ladder in the cellar, I noticed how difficult it is for him to come down, foot on the crossbar was shaking without any support under the heel and toe. Especially when in the hands was a load of potatoes, and especially bag. “There would be steps, — he was justified, noting my sympathetic glance, and then like a chicken on the roost.”

REPAIR COMFORTABLY

REPAIR COMFORTABLEMotorists asked to get a shallow pit that allows you to perform repair of machines sitting. Energy and materials it takes much less than in the arrangement of any ie “polnost governmental” counterparts. And work convenient. Is a mini-pit in two parts: a sump with a slanted end (it falls under the car) and depth, equipped with mortise seat. Wall recommend to impose with a brick. If there is roofing iron, it is quite possible to do the lining and out of it in the form of a welded box construction. Not the best option (but more affordable) is to dig a wooden stand with a subsequent interior wall boards, plywood or plastic. But the bottom (if there is no soil water) can be left in excavation without any coverage.

IN FLIGHT THE AIRPLANE HAD

IN-FLIGHT LOWIntroducing radio controlled model aircraft for training flights. The prototype was popular among modelers from different countries models “Corkscrew” (Corkscrew) is an American athlete Stuart L. Richmond. The appearance in the sale of grooved balsa plates and rails (at least in specialised stores) as well as excellent flight performance and simplicity of execution “Corkscrew” became the incentive to further improve the original scheme.

LACING ON THE BOOK

For many years engaged in bookbinding business. Stapling the sheet sets at the root, not sew them, string, inserting in the cuts the block with a depth of 3 to 4 mm sturdy thread in the shown sequence. Then coat the lace with glue— everything works faster and stronger. O. EVDOKIMOV, Saint-Petersburg

HEADSETS FOR ATTIC

SUITE FOR THE ATTIC“In one of the rooms of the journal among the tips I was interested in the original triangular door leading to the attic. We have not solved the problem of the use of the space under the roof, behind the wall of the room in the attic where such tables would be useful. Can’t they tell us more?”

THE TUBES BURNED OUT…

THE FUSES BLEW.Familiar, perhaps, to every household situation: podklyuchayut all household appliances, which is in the apartment, but in the end — tube on the flap burn out from overload. More precisely, due to the excessively increased current in them melt, breaking the electrical circuit, a special low-melting insert and safeguard wiring from the further heating and ignition. Save these simple, in General, the devices and from large troubles in the so-called short circuit due to insulation breakdown, the inclusion of faulty electrical equipment or in the course of work on nabestaanden (particularly dangerous and inappropriate!) sockets, lamp cartridges, etc.

ROUTE “MAZDA”

TRACE Despite market saturation, radio-controlled car and their simplistic and relatively cheap likes — RC avtokraski, EN-route kits are all also attract the attention of fans of sports automodelisme. I must say that the model market offers a lot of interesting tracks for: here and small motors with samarium-cobalt magnets that develop a power of 100 watts, and painted the inside of the one-piece shell-the housing of Iksanova film, and even finished chassis of various designs. However, the desire to make a completely homemade design is truly indestructible. The more that the advantages of such models include their relative simplicity, speed of production, and with the use of very simple equipment — literally “on the knee”.

NON-MOTORIZED ACROBAT

NON-ACROBATThe increase in the number of athletes, creating a model with a remote control, is not to the detriment of the adherents of the cord. The fact that even “radiosporten” make their first steps in aircraft modeling, holding the control stick Assembly. However, before you build a model internal combustion engine, it makes sense to make the apparatus easier — non-motorized. This will enable the beginner to master the piloting skills necessary for the management of more complex kordovye models. Moreover, this no-motorboat can make even the elements of aerobatics like inverted flight and loop.

THE LAYOUT WITHOUT A TEMPLATE

MARKUP WITHOUT A TEMPLATEUsually machines, mechanisms and assemblies during installation is fixed to the mounting surface or Foundation of several bolts. The centers of the bolt holes, usually marked with templates, taken from the base mounted units. Work sin a long, time-consuming, requiring the involvement of specialists of high qualification. However, to avoid markup errors that reduce the reliability of fastening is not always possible.
