I suggest aiming for around 100k for images on the boards. This can be easilly achieved by resizing to 800 or 500px wide then applying moderate JPEG compression i.e. level 8/9 (photoshop)

Any problems, e-mail me the pics and i'll size and compress and place in any post for you.

I don't understand that one Lello. Editing prog playing up ??? You can e-mail them to me and I will resize and send back to you if you like.

Here are two shots The first one showing the sink layout,(you can just see the hose in this one, And No2 was after about 3 attempts (you can see the state of the sheet) and the different flow
PS
We have 12 coming round for dinner in about an hour, so will catch up with you later

Nice ones Lello.

I have just taken pic of flash contacts from an early camera to show how robust the connection is for 250v trigger. I will post later. As you are OK with your pics now, time to go out and look for festive lights. Mist comming down to slow me up.

When I get a moment I will take the front off an old mechanical camera so you can see the lump of copper that is the flash contact.

Lello,

As promised a pic of the flash contacts from a 60's mechanical camera.

Notice I did not open up one of my Nikkormats.

Thats very interesting and explains sync speed, front and rear curtain ideas or at least their origins and why they exist today. It has provided reason for some of the ideas we have been using in the flash thread.

The large metal lump that is the flash trigger is required probably for reliability and physical strength as voltage requires next to nothing in terms of gauge to apply whereas electrical current needs conductor cross sectional area to transport without detrimental consequences.

Very interesting Don
Cameras seem to have a long way in the 30 odd years.I bet The new Cams flash's are not triggered by gears, Or are they?

OK, Now that one mystery is solved how about this one?
