Us ww1 gas mask for sale12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() “Basically it was pads of cotton waste that were wrapped in gauze and soaked in a solution, sodium thiosulphate, which neutralized the effects of low concentrations of chlorine gas.īut it was far from a solution. Then Haldane’s first effort was a “makeshift” respirator, Sturdy told the BBC, called the “Black Veil” respirator. “Naomi was stationed outside the door, which had a window in it, with instructions that if any of them were incapacitated she should get them out as quickly as possible and perform artificial respiration on them,” Sturdy says.īefore Haldane and his team made innovations in keeping soldiers safe from gas, the suggested remedy on the front lines was holding a urine-soaked handkerchief or urine-soaked socks to the face, Chester writes. Haldane and his fellow researchers would expose themselves to gas and test its effects. The scientist’s lab was in his home, and he employed his daughter Naomi, then a teenager, as a research assistant, historian Steve Sturdy told the BBC. Haldane and his team were able to identify the gas used at Ypres as chlorine by examining discolored metal buttons on soldiers' uniforms.Īfter he returned to his home in Oxford, England, he started experimenting to find out what would keep the gas out. His job was to ID the kind of gas that was being used. Thirty years into his career, in 1915, Haldane was sent to Ypres after the battle, the BBC writes. He had also done previous work on how to protect miners from gas using respirators, according to Jerry Chester for the BBC.īut Haldane’s other big contribution didn’t just endanger birds: It endangered him and his family. Smithsonian has written about Haldane before, because he was the man who devised the idea of using canaries and other small animals in coal mines to detect odorless, deadly gases. He taught at several universities and developed medical remedies for common industrial ailments. But he wasn’t a practicing doctor: instead he was a medical researcher, writes the Science Museum in London. Haldane, born on this day in 1860 in Edinburgh, Scotland, got his medical degree in 1884. One of these scientists was John Scott Haldane, whose spectacular moustache (see above) would likely have prevented him from getting a good seal when wearing a gas mask. Unprepared for German forces to use chlorine gas as a weapon, many Allied soldiers suffocated, unprotected, during the Battle of Ypres in 1915.īut they gained protection thanks to the efforts of scientists who worked on the home front. The story has been updated to reflect Morgan’s contributions. In fact, Garrett Morgan, a Black inventor based in Ohio, filed a patent for a gas mask in 1914, a year before Haldane started researching his device. Editor’s Note, May 11, 2022: This article previously suggested that John Haldane was the first person to invent a gas mask. ![]()

87 chevy passenger van12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() The rears being a 7.5" or a 7.625" does not matter. The rear axle of the Trailblazer and Envoy are either an 8.0" or 8.6" so they are not useable. These vehicles are offered in 3.42, 3.73 and 4.10 ratios from the factory. The diff itself is not useable as these go through the engine block. You can also grab front gears from a Trailblazer or Envoy as they use the same 7.25" high pinion diff. The front has always been a 7.25" reverse rotation and early versions interchange with newer diffs. That is easy.you can use any ring and pinion out of an S-10 axle. I wonder what other vehicles you can salvage 4.10's out of. ![]() These vans used 7.6" ring gears from 1989-2005, so they probably interchange. That means they are probably hard to find, but I'm going to keep an eye out at the junkyard anyway. Timelessbeing wrote:So I guess the only possibility for a set of front+rear factory 4.10's would be out of a 1990/91 AWD van. Just compare them to the list provided below to determine you gear ratio. NOTE! The first 3 letters of the code stamp are the ones that matter. However, I have found that on 1988 and older, the code is found on the front of the drivers side axle tube. You will notice the code is located on the front of the tube on the passengers side of the van. You will need to clean off the axle tube well to see the letters-numbers clearly. The parking brake cable runs right across the area you need to see. But the only certain way is to loo at the numbers stamped on the crown and pinion gears.ĪXLE TUBE CODES: The surefire way to find out which gear ratio your rear axle has is to look at the spot you see pointed out in the image above. ONE way to be almost SURE what your rear axle ratio is will be to look at the actual factory code stamped on the axle itself. If you are not the original owner of your van you don't know for sure if the axle has been replaced or not. The RPO CODE on the sticker only shows which rear axle was installed at the factory. Note: I would be shot for doing just this at "that other site". If you click on the tech info tab, you find rear axle info as well as some stuff about how to do a gen 1 to Gen 2 nose swap, dutch doors from barn doors etc. AstroZam, Justice, I'm sure y'all remember that place eh? Heres the link, and a copy of the goods from that link. Actually, I knew it was there for ten years now. ![]()

And maybe even pick up a mending skill or two. Cline’s favorite is the simple directive to love and wear what you’ve already got in your closet. Sholl covers six compelling reasons to give up fast fashion. Sholl interviews Elizabeth Cline, author of The Conscious Closet, in her article about slow fashion and healthier, more fulfilling approaches to building a wardrobe.Ĭline tells Sholl that she sees fast fashion as the textile equivalent of fast food, which “made unhealthy food cheap and ubiquitous.” Fast-fashion garments that are produced in the most toxic conditions are now the most widely available. ![]() What’s the alternative? There are plenty, as it turns out. “Expectations created on social media and the ease of online buying have helped normalize near-continuous shopping.” For many consumers, the cycle doesn’t feel good. Also any new customer that creates a thredUP account using my link will get a $10 credit, but I don’t know if it can be used towards a Goody Box yet.“The ‘‘slow fashion’’ movement teaches consumers how to build a healthy wardrobe, while also protecting the planet,” writes Jessie Sholl in the October issue of Experience L!fe magazine. So if you want to try this service for yourself, simply click this link and then click “Goody Box” at the top left of the website. (In case you were wondering, the dress that I’m keeping is the one in the top center in the above photo.) Im trying a new clothing subscription box today Lets see how Thredup Goody Box compares to some others I have tried. I love that I have a whole entire week to decide so that I can think through my purchase without having to rush anything. If you get that I would definitely complain about your box not matching your style. I was definitely pleased with my experience and I know I will do this again in the future because it’s just so FUN!Īs it stands right now, I have one dress that I know I’m going to keep and a couple of other items that I am still on the fence about. After my goody box I got an email from the head of ThredUp asking for my feedback on the experience. ThredUp is an online thrift slash consignment store. I chose the Night Out Box so they sent me nice jeans, dressy blouses and dresses. Today Im unboxing my first ThredUp Goody Box, a new-ish clothing subscription service. Everything in my box was a color or pattern that I would wear. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and you are free to use the link or not as you choose. If you click a link and buy something, I receive a small commission for the sale. ![]() Pretty sweet, huh?Īlso, the stylist definitely listened to my feedback. All opinions are always 100 honest and my own. Also, several of the items were new with tags. Includes a mix of scarves, wraps, stoles, and more in various sizes and shapes. I believe you can pick your budget and even choose high-end labels if that is what you would prefer, but what I received was just right for me. This box includes plain & graphic T-shirts in mixed sizes. You open it and try on the second-HAND clothes and check what. The Goody-Box however was a totally different experience.įirst of all, nothing in my box was priced over $24.99 and I got nice brands like The Limited, Banana Republic, Bebe, Anne Taylor, etc. It contains 10-15 items in a big ole dotted box, shipped to you. I tried Stitch Fix a couple of months back and while it was fun, the prices were simply way out of my budget and I didn’t love any of it. So, is the Goody-Box worth trying? I would have to say yes, yes and yes. Whatever you decide to return goes back into the original box with the free shipping label that was included. A great way to save on shipping and return costs is to opt for the goody boxes. You have 7 business days to decide what you want to keep. There is a $20 styling deposit for each box which goes towards anything that you keep. You can give feedback and let your stylist know your favorite colors, patterns or pieces that you may need. They have different themes to choose from such as, Night Out, Office or Essentials. You will receive 12-15 gently used items per box. ![]() This is not a subscription service, so you can order a box as little or as frequently as you would like. Things you need to know about thredUP Goody Boxes:ġ. Well, did you know that they now offer Goody Boxes, which is basically just like Stitch Fix, but way better in my opinion? I recently tried this service out for myself and now I’m going to give you my honest review. Have you heard of thredUP?

Diamond dremel drill bits12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Additionally, diamond dremel bits can also help to grind down any sharp edges on the dog’s nails, making them much more comfortable for the dog. However, in general, diamond dremel bits can be very beneficial for dogs, providing them with a safe and effective way to trim their nails. There is no one definitive answer to this question, as it depends on the specific needs of the dog in question and the opinions of the dog’s owner. They are able to cut through these materials quickly and easily, making them perfect for a variety of applications. Ruby carvers are likely to cost more than diamond instruments because diamond instruments cut faster, last longer, have a smoother surface, and, as you might expect, cost more.ĭremel diamond bits are ideal for use on hard, brittle materials like stone. Does diamond bit work on wood? As long as the diamond chips remain in contact with the base material, a diamond bit should be able to cut wood indefinitely. They are commonly used to decorate sea glass, beach glass, stone, precious gems, pebbles, ceramic tiles, glazed pottery, shells, and antlers. What is a diamond point drill? A diamond drill bit can be used to make holes out of materials like glass, stone, ceramic, and bone. What is a diamond drill bit? Glass, sea glass, beach glass, fused glass, and sheet glass are all examples of hard materials that can be drilled with diamond drill bits. The Different Uses For Diamond Drill Bits Because diamonds are corrosion resistant, they have an extended bit life. Because the diamond is hard, the drill bit is not expected to wear down and tear. Because of the sharpness of the diamond bits, these drills are extremely precise. The advantages of using a diamond drill bit are numerous. My dog’s breeder suggested I try it out, and I was eager to give it a try. ![]() They take a long time to make and get hot. I’ve used the sandpaper rotary bits to file dog nails for my pets since I started using them. The Diamond Dremel Bit has a lifetime warranty. They are used for a variety of purposes, including grinding, drilling, and polishing. ![]() What Are Diamond Dremel Bits Used For?ĭiamond dremel bits are small, cylindrical bits of diamond encased in metal. The jumbo bit has a 60 grit exterior and 120 grit concave centre, making it ideal for nail polishing. With the small/large bit, the outer surface is 80 grit, and the concave centre is 120 grit, with the final nail polish. In one dual grit diamond drill bit, you will find 2 in 1. A respiratory protection device, such as a respiratory mask, is the best way to avoid all respiratory issues that can arise as a result of breathing in wood fibers.ĭremel bits can be used for a variety of tasks, including grinding, polishing, cutting, wood carving, engraving, sanding, cleaning, grout removal, sharpening, routing, drilling, and a variety of others. Choosing the right bits for dremel tools can have a significant impact on how the project will appear. The SE 30 piece set comes with titanium-coated diamond burrs ranging in grit from 120-150. Taita Tools’ 20 piece rotary set comes with a wider range of mixed shapes made of wear-resistant high-speed carbide steel.Ī high grit count will ensure that the sand is properly applied, and the less material it will remove, the less material it will take off. This steel has a service life of ten times longer than a high-speed steel. The Rocaris titanium dremel carbide bit burr set focuses on low-density objects, such as wood, which is a popular example. Kwokker employs 1/8 inch burrs, as well as a 10-piece collection of perfectly matched shapes. It is not an easy task to pry out, but any type of bit will do. Some wood bits have a specific degree of removal of wood material, while others have a general shape that influences how the wood is formed. The mystery behind bits and burrs is slowly becoming more apparent as it becomes clearer what they are. Using a gouge is similar to using the flute to slice away the material, allowing the wood to come out clean. When starting a project, the first thing you’ll need is a 1/8 inch piece of Kutzall Extreme Flame Rotary Burr. ![]() The three most common types of dremel bits are the Saburr Tooth, the Fluted, and the Diamond-tipped. It is critical to have prior experience, a reasonable sense of time, and a strong sense of personal style. Whatever type of bit is available, it can be used in a variety of ways. You should begin with burr bits like these from Kutzall if you want to get your project off to a good start. The best wood carving dremel bits will have the greatest impact on how the finished product looks. The only downside to using diamond dremel bits on wood is that it will create a lot of dust. This is because the diamond is a very hard material that can cut through wood easily. However, diamond dremel bits can actually be used on wood as well. Most people believe that diamond dremel bits can only be used on hard materials such as metal or tile. ![]() |
