Subject:      Window cranks FYI
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

In case anyone is wondering whether the window cranks are made of the
type of zinc alloy that you can bend somewhat -- they're
not.  They're made of the kind of zinc alloy that looks you straight
in the eye and then snaps in half.    I needed the bend to clear a
speaker, so I backed it up with a bent piece of 1/2 x 1/8 HRS with a
.040 rabbet milled into it so the screws wouldn't have to do all the
locating work.  Hey, I wanted to use the new (Taig) mill anyway... :)

Yrs,
