I just want to take this opportunity to say thanks to the M.E. society as a whole in the U.K. that over the years has created the atmosphere in which men like L. H. Sparey. L. E. Mason, Tom Walsham, and others, have been able not only to do the things they have done, but to WRITE about it and have it published so that others like me could learn from their experiences and share their knowledge. What this is all about is that this past week, thanks to these gentlemen, I learned how to fly-cut an inside radius on the Lathe on a piece that had to fit the curved exterior of a cylinder. If I had not had copies of the books written by these gentlemen, I could not have done it on my own. To these gentlemen and their successors I say a very profound "Thank You"!
