The domed glass has a flat top- when I bought it, there was some old fibrous paper above the glass to prevent the glass rattling. The elements fit together very well, with zero leakage when carried charged with oil. oil.

SMD: Surface Mount Electronic Components for SMT: SMD or Surface Mount Electronic Components for SMT are no different from through-hole components as far as the electrical function is concerned. Because they are smaller, however, the SMCs (surface mount components) provide better electrical performance.
Below I discuss in detail all the SMD components:
Passive Surface Mount Components:
1. Surface Mount Discrete Resistors
2. Surface Mount Resistor Networks
3. Ceramic Capacitors for SMT
4. Surface Mount Tantalum Capacitors
5. Tubular Passive Components for SMT
SMD Active Components for SMT:
1. Leadless Ceramic Chip Carriers (LCCC)
2. Ceramic Leaded Chip Carriers (CLCC) (Preleaded and Postleaded)
SMD Active Components for SMT (Plastic Packages):
1. Small Outline Transistors (SOT)
2. Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC and SOP)
3. Plastic Leaded Chip Carriers (PLCC)
4. Small Outline J Packages (SOJ)
5. Fine Pitch SMD Packages (QFP, SQFP)
Ball Grid Array (BGA):
1. PGA (pin grid array)
2. CBGA (Ceramic Ball Grid Array)
3. CCGA (Ceramic Column Grid Array)
Here are the components of the Centrex unit. It is on a rotating hinge that locks in the horizontal position when in use, but will flip up and out of the way for changing shaper tooling and other setup chores.
It is possible to remove the safety shield and pressure foot that are mounted on a hex-shaped bar, and replace this with the pressure foot system with a new bracket designed specifically for this purpose.
NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 60 –
The function of the non-nuclear component stores was to hold the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The casing could probably be split into two units, the tail and forward part containing the high explosive and electronics. The bombs, minus their fissile components, were housed in three almost identical stores buildings 59-61, known as Storage Building Type 'D-D'. These are arranged in an arrowhead pattern, and are accessed from the internal loop road, and are all surrounded by 14ft 6in high earth traverses, revetted by a reinforced concrete retaining wall against the roadway.
The western store, building 59 was gutted by a fire during the 1980's and has subsequently been demolished. Its floor plan remains visible on the remaining concrete floor slab. The two remaining stores, buildings 60 and 61 are rectangular in plan, and are constructed from reinforced concrete columns and beams. Internally there are two rows of columns, 13in², which support the roof beams, 2ft by 9in, which carry the 9in thick reinforced concrete roof slab which is covered with bituminous felt. The rainwater gutters and down pipes are cast asbestos.
The wall sections are filled with 18in by 9in by 9in precast concrete blocks, internally the main storage area measures 190ft 2½in by 60ft. It is divided longitudinally into eleven 17ft by 3ft bays and cross ways into three bays the outer bays measure 17ft 6in and the central bay is 25ft wide. The maximum clear internal height was 12ft from the floor to the underside of the roof beams. The floor is surfaced with a hard gritless asphalt with the patent name 'Ironite'. The walls are painted pale green colour and the ceiling cream. in store building 61 the bay letters 0, N, M, and L are visible on the rear columns on the eastern side, suggesting the store was divided into 22 bays along the outer walls.
Abutting on to the front of the stores, and flanking the entrances, are plant and switch rooms, which originally contained heating and air conditioning plant to maintain a stable environment within the stores. A raised air extract duct is placed asymmetrically on the roofs of the stores. Entry into the stores is through a 10ft wide door opening with 12ft high doors. In the rear wall of the stores is a single door width, outward opening emergency exit. The first nuclear weapon the store was designed to hold was relatively large, a ''Blue Danube'' bomb measured 24ft in length and weighed 10,000lbs.
The problems of handling such large objects are reflected in the provision of substantial lifting gantries at the entrance to each store. Two variants are found, the simplest, exemplified by the middle store building 60 comprises a straight gantry. Over the roadway the gantry is supported by four 24in by 18in reinforced concrete columns, which support two 51in by 24in reinforced concrete beams. The upper beams of the gantry taper towards the entrance to the store where they are suppurted by two reinforced concrete columns. On the underside of the gantry is attached a 20in by 6½in rolled steel joist runway beam which runs to the entrance to the building. This was originally fitted with a 10 ton hoist. The gantry is covered by asbestos sheeting to provide a dry working area.
On the eastern and western stores the gantries were set at 30° to the front of the stores. In this variant an extra set of columns was placed at the 30° dogleg. Internally there is no evidence for a runway beam, so it presumed the bombs were lifted off a road transporter and loaded onto a bomb trolley for storage. It is not known how many bombs were kept in each store, or if the tail units were separated from the front part of the bomb for storage. Subsequent to the site being relinquished by the RAF a central corridor has been created in the stores by the insertion of breeze block walls. Doors in these walls give access to workshops along either side of the buildings. External windows have also been inserted in some of the bays.

I always weigh the base components and keep records so that I can plan the right size of cane for a project.
The cargo vessel Forseti registered in Antigua and Barbuda; length 85m, beam 13m, draft 4m.
Looks like they are loading the wind turbine components. Bound for Klaipeda in Lithuania.
The plate on top is the mounting interface between the back of the Mitutoyo digital scale, and the clamping block below it. The top plate is precisely 4.5mm thick, and the four small (3.3mm) holes in the middle are counterbored on the back side to 2mm depth to receive the four #5-40 screws that attach the plate to the back of the Mitutoyo scale.
yes, trip to maplins this lunchtime, back with a boatload of electronics bits and bobs for my basic foray into physical computing.
beyond that, i also cannibalised an old logitech USB controller to get at its two analog joysticks and the shoulder buttons.
