For someone of your caliber, I think you'll enjoy using them, secure in
the
knowledge that you are no longer creating the "Jim Rozen" series of
threads.
On the other hand, maybe you'll miss the notoriety! g

I was told a story once by a man who worked for Weston, the meter folks.
He said that their operation pre-dated most of the standardized thread
forms, going back before the turn of the century - and that they had
their own in-plant thread standards which they supported with home-made
gages of all sorts. Up until the late 70s they simply used their
own standards and forms on all of the meters they manufactured. Amazing.


Amazing, indeed! On the other hand, why not? Seems to me that thread
standards are what they are only because everyone (?) agrees with standards
set forth. Had Weston been aggressive in promoting their standards, maybe
we'd have a completely different system today.



Give it a go, Jim, and give us your impressions of their use. Read
my
instructions of how to apply them. It works great, is very easy to do.

Hmm, lets see, first step is to get some copper wire of about the
right size.....

I've always favored #12 solid and a heavy hand on the mike. :-)
