Using your site, we were able to identify the manufacturer as Flexible Flyer and some history. I will pass this along to the donor. The skis originally belonged to her grandparents, here in Northfield, VT. The donor also gave us a pair of early Paris, Maine skis and 2 pairs of early wooden Northland US ski poles.

The tips were not tapered and were long, like a candy cane almost. If I remember right the bindings were lace-ups. Maybe my friend there has a picture she can send you. Thank you for this great collection of information!

My friend and I were skiing and she had skis from her Mom and I, who had skied a lot more than her, had a cheap pair of fish scale skis.

It was warmish out and mine kept sticking and hers were too fast for her. We traded and I have had them and loved them ever since.

Is it possible to paint it yourself? Thanks Heather. We used an automotive painter for Millie in which you will get a more professional look than doing it yourself but it will cost you around 3.

Loving this van and just wanting to know if yourtap s a caravan tap or just a regular one? So beautiful! We are in the process of renovating our caravan but the thick black rubber around the windows are looking pretty grim in the big picture of things. Did you have this issue? How did you deal with interior walls of a caravan? Could you use normal paint straight on here? It depends on what they are made from. We have a 75 franklin and are wanting to do the same configuration.

Where you able to keep your original walls and just paint? Suggests please on wall material that we can potentially paint a colour. Lauren Ardagh.

Supplied in stock lengths of 8. For maximum strength, the posts have been cemented at mm centres. W - Strap: This versatile product may be supplied in either black uncoated or a Gal. The widths may be supplied in 7", 9" or 11" widths with 7" wide being the most popular size overall. For the gentle curves, this product can be easily adapted as shown in the example above. TEK Screws: These screws may come in varying lengths and thicknesses and are often supplied as a bag of With adapters fitting most drills, these self drilling screws easily drill through the thickness of the 50 x 50 mm posts.

Slam Catch: This style of slam catch allows the gate operator to grasp the handle above the fence. This is a safety function as the gate cannot close or jam on the operator's hands.

This "R" shaped pin secures the hinge and does not allow it to be lifted off. Three Way Sheep Draft: Can easily be incorporated and in fact may be an essential unit in the yard design. Used to separate lambs and ewes, this is one of Metalcorp Steels most popular sales unit for sheep yards. The sheet sided VEE race controls the sheep inline and the gates have handles well out of the way for added safety. Other items that you may require are gloves, welding helmets, chipping hammers, wire brushes and zinc enriched touch up paints in the spray cans.

Some branch locations may also stock post hole diggers although to build the above yards,a powered auger or post hole digger may help speed up the overall installation.

These yards are a proven design. The materials that you require may be different. Permanent yards may have benefits over a portable yard sysyem. For information regarding the above yards or materials, please contact the Victorian branch on:- Ph: 03 Most branches will have a Handy Rack that will contain assorted steel sections at approximately 2. Everything in Steel - Misc Products.

Everything in Steel - Other Products. Tread Mounts. Galvanized or Black Steel Weld on and bolt on universal steel tread mounts ideal for wooden or steel stringers.

These products apply a zinc rich coating, which protects clean steel in the same way as hot Yellow Zinc dipped galvanizing.

Ideally suited for touch up on welds and on damaged structures and components. Colours as listed. Silver Galv is a fast drying anti corrosive silver paint formulated for all metal surfaces including, roofing, steel structures, Galv pipes, fencing, etc. A high performance penetrating aerosol. It quickly dissolves rust and penetrates threads.

The residue left behind will further lubricate and protect from corrosion. Prevents weld spatter from bonding to metal surfaces. Suitable for both MIG and electrode welding. This is a heavy duty extreme pressure product suitable for arduous duties such as metal cutting, boring, drilling, tapping, reaming or drawing and forming operations. Resistant to weak caustic and corrosive solutions. Pressure of ,00 psi. A thin narrow spray fan.

How Can I Calculate that? How to Calculate Geometric Shapes. The following are formulae to convert the areas and volumes of some common shapes. To Calculate the mass of steel circular hollow sections. To calculate the mass for steel plate sections. Flats: Width mm x Thickness mm x 0.

To determine the length of a conveyor belting. Measure in inches from the outside of the roll to the opposite side of the centre opening S.

Australian Standards as listed in this Steel Guide. Relevance Steel tube and tubulars for ordinary service. Structural steel hollow sections. Pipe threads of whitworth form. Hot-dip galvanized zinc coatings on hollow sections, applied by continuous or specialized process Steel tube for water bore casing.

Chain wire mesh for fencing. Steel reinforcing wire for concrete. Steel structures. Baltube handrail system. Mass Densities of Some Materials. The Mass Density of Some Materials. Densities of Some Metals and Alloys. While the data is useful for the design and selection of bulk materials handling plant, bulk transport and packaging, individual samples will differ. Moisture content will have a marked influence. Admiralty Brass Aluminium - rolled. Bitumen - prepared. A process involving heating and cooling, applied usually to induce softening of a specified steel item.

The term is also used to cover treatment to:Remove stresses - After mechanical or physical properties - Produce a definite microstructure. Remove dissolved gases. A test of ductility where a test piece must withstand; without fracture; bending through a specific angle around a specified diameter.

The deviation of a side edge of metal sheet or strip from a straight edge. A chalk-line formation on the surface of an organic coating caused by the breakdown of the surface layer of resin, releasing pigment particles and fillers normally bound by the resin.

This phenomenon normally occurs after long exposure to sunlight. Is the reduction of hot-rolled pickled steel strip to a specified thickness, using a series of stands of rolls.

This distorts the grain structure of the steel and also the loss of ductility. Finish refers to the degree of smoothness of the lustre of the sheet. The flatness of sheet metal may be defined as the absence of any waviness or buckle. The process of applying a coating of zinc to a surface of iron or steel to provide a corrosion resistant surface.

Zinc coating may be applied by hot dipping or by electroplating. The degree to which a painted surface possesses the property of reflecting light in a mirror like manner. An operation or combination of operations involving the heating or cooling of a metal or alloy in a solid state for the purpose of obtaining desired conditions or properties. A steel with deoxidants such as aluminium or silicon added before casting molten steel to remove oxygen and so prevent evolution of carbon monoxide and chemical segregation during cooling.

The closing of a tight seam of lock-formed edges of sheet metal. An example is a Pittsburgh lock-seam, a grooved single lock-seam or a snap lock-seam. Lustre finish is a smooth finish for electroplating achieved by using specially prepared rolls.

Some surface preparation by the plater may be necessary. Cold-rolled products are available with either a matt or lustre finish. The matt finish is produced by rolling with mechanically roughened rolls. Properties relating to the behaviour of materials under load in conventional mechanical tests, such as elastic modulii, tensile strength, elongation and hardness. Heating steel to; and if necessary holding at; a suitable temperature above the transformation range, followed by cooling in an atmosphere to ambient temperature, in order to produce a medium-to-fine pearlite microstructure.

Removal of oxide films from metal by immersion in an acid. The process is applied to scale removal from metal prior to operations such as cold rolling, wire drawing and electroplating. Absorption of hydrogen may occur in pickling causing embrittlement of hard steels and necessitating low temperature annealing for its removal.

This is a metal working process in which a flat blank; constrained between two surfaces; is forced by a punch to take a required shape. The first coat of a painting system applied to an unpainted surface.

It has very good adhesion and corrosion inhibitive properties. The direction in which strip has been rolled. Longitudinal or Transverse. Layers of iron oxide formed on the surface of hot rolled steel when oxygen in the air combines with iron from the steel. Heating a metal to and holding it at some temperature, generally below recrystallization range, followed by uniform cooling, for the purpose of removing internal locked stresses.

Stretcher levelled; as applied to sheets; indicates a standard of flatness. The term originated from an early method of gripping the ends of sheets and stretching it to remove buckles. A continuously rolled flat product of any width and thickness, supplied rolled into a coil form.

To modify the hardness of metals. Adjustment of hardness of heat treated articles by controlled heating after quenching. An increase in hardness by cold rolling. The degree of cold rolling is variable depending on the required hardness and is more than that of skin-passing.

A standard sample of material is placed between two jaws and drawn apart in a tensile testing machine until fracture. The ultimate tensile strength is the load divided by the cross section area of the sample. The coating applied to the back or exposed side of the painted strip.
