Henry, does not come up for me.

Jon,
Do you use AOL? Darrah told me he had the same problem. I sent him a screen capture of what I saw using I.E. He said that AOL gave him a totally different looking page. When he used MS Internet Explorer, it was there.

[Jon Hanson]

To the left, under the "Home" tab and above the "Virtual Museum" tab click on the projects link. That will take you to the right page.

I am using IE 7 browser and I found out that the files do NOT display for me when I use a HIGH Internet Security Option.

They DO display fine when using a MEDIUM-HIGH Setting.

To change this in the IE7 options do this:

Tools tab (top of browser page)
Internet Options Tab
Security Tab
Highlight the internet Globe Icon
Move the slider bar down one notch (from High to Meduim High)
Push Apply and OK (bottom right) to save the setting.

Nice work! I enjoyed reading it.

Is it appropriate to discuss the content here? My humble opinion concerning the difference between the models 7/8 and 9/10 which seems to puzzle:

The discerning feature between these two should be that the latter have a potance, whence the former ones don't. The shape of the cock and the hairspring stud probably changed at a somewhat later date, creating models 9 and 10 with straight cocks. However, this is just my two pennies worth opinion , I don't pretend to have a deep knowledge about this.

Also shouldn't the 18s mod 5 be called a 3/4 plate? A typo, for sure.

Happy New Year

Peter

.Peter, why not discuss it on chapter 149; you Are a member.

[Kent]

Is there something wrong with discussing it here?

[Jon Hanson]

is there something wrong with discussing it on 149 from where it originated???
