Digital measuring arm

[abknight@zzzzzz]

Hi Simon.

just doodling here.   I enjoyed the trip to Pietrasanta to
see the Faro arm.  I didn't really figure it out and
seeing as how I am supine on the couch with my laptop I'd
just go ahead and wishfully ask you if you got the gist of
it.  Are there two Faro arms then, one for the original
and a second for the reproduction and the carver runs back
and forth?  The didn't mention two Faro arms.  And does it
enlarge as well?

Did you ever visit Ukishima.net to see the diary?  Its
alot of family stuff but it has work stuff too.  I know
you like cranes.  If you do ever have the time to go you
will see his little loader and other neat gizmos for
expiditing stone work.  He takes proud pictures of his
newly acquired Boerer chipping hammer, the kind that he
had used at the carving symposium that he had attended at
Lindstrumm or some name like that.  Mathias Hoerst(sic)
was the lead carver and he figures prominently in that
site I provided earlier of the carving symposium going
back through the years.  The have a loving photo there of
perhaps that same make chipping hammer.

By the way.  I am enjoying my 1 1/4" air hammer.  I asked
the list what they thought of going to the next step up
 from the 1" and got the reply that it would beat me up.  I
have found to the contrary.  The 1" can tear it up, but it
goes kind of wild at higer air pressures.  The 1 1/4"
worried me and I thought at first it was mis-functioning
because it really was not any more agressive than the 1"
when than is run wide open.  But hit harder it does.  In a
more mannerly and restful fashion.  To the extent that one
can like such a thing I do like it and now feel the 1" is
more or a detail hammer.  Hironori-san at Ukishima.net was
very pleased with his giant chipper.  I can only imagine
what it might do.  One had better know where one is going.
 I believe he bought it to expidite a very large work
