Hello Jonathan just a little note to say good luck with you 4 week sponsorship
I'm sure you will do well you are a bright, able young man, just remember to smile and they don’t use left-handed screwdrivers or sell elbow grease at the shop.
I can think of any more pranks but I sure they are loads
Advice- take your own tea cup and smile
James:rofl::rofl:
Could you go to the stores and ask for a long weight :)
4 metres of Fallopian tube ?
Or maybe a glass hammer and a metric adjustible spanner...
I remember the teachers at school using the long weight one once or twice. :heehee:
I don't think it's going to be the sort of place with these things - www.cumminsgeneratortechnologies.com/
and 10l of tartan paint
How about going for a long stand from the stores!

I hope he's had a good day??

or a bubble for the spirit level
It was fine - nothing unexpected. I was shown round the bit where they test the generators. No errands yet ...Quote:

Already have, though not in those words...my 'supervisor', who has been there 3 years, said they hardly ever pass the test. From what little I saw they seem to be well within the ratings. One time they did have the generator catch fire due to a 'foreign body' - apparently it looked like a Catherine wheel.Quote:

Hmm I found the following quote:
' the continuing push of the con. rod tended to smash the piston and sometimes punch its way out of the crankcase side. Railwaymen call this "putting a leg out of bed"'
But there's not really any pistons involved with this...
Sorry, got the wrong end of the stick, though you were working for Cummins ?
Yes I am. Oh I see, the generators are tested with an induction motor not an engine.Quote:

Ahh fair enough ... I probably should have known that!
