106/365 - Cool to be square, man...
We've been having a jolly good tidy-up at work as part of the new systems being put in place...
I came across this box of intriguing plastic bits and bobs which, to the untrained eye, might look like toddlers' playthings, but a Real Proper Engineer like wot I am knows that they are sections of coolant pipes which click together and can be directed onto various tools in the CNC machines. Coolant is then sprayed over the work-in-progress to prevent the tips overheating as they cut into the metal.
Me? I just liked the pretty shapes and colours - I'm so childish... ;-)
