No digression at all Michael, very relevant and interesting, I didn't know about that.

Nice work Mr N ! And some interesting details there, in particular the pendulum 'hanging by a thread'. I haven't seen this before but might have read about such things. While this 'might' have some advantages over something more conventional, I'm wondering if the thread material is reliable in terms of fatigue. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Just in case you haven't seen it Gerry, there is the excellent Clickspring's use of silk thread here:-

+1 thank you – I will have to make such an assembly jig after failing to do a good repair free-hand
