Or if you have the gizmo built with pulleys in place you can run a 1/4" wide flat tape measure around them. I always have such a tape in a pocket, along with 3 to 5 pocket knives and a small adjustable wrench. I need to get another little pair of Diamond multi-position pliers. (Like mini Channel Lock pliers.) Wore out the last one I had. One of the knives has flat and phillips screwdriver, a little pair of scissors and various other tools. It was a freebie from one of those outfits that laser engraves business names on things. Wore the engraving off in a couple weeks. I always feel a bit lighter any time I have to go into a government building... ;) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
