Eyetalian Threads, ca. 1950
There was a thread here about a month ago about restoring an Italian
espresso machine that had metric diameter parts with 'merican thread pitches. So I was visiting my sister, and my nephew asks if I can make him a part for an accordion and hands we a little bent piece of wire that -- shoot me if I'm wrong -- is threaded with 3mm x 40TPI at the ends. Cool. I started talking about this and my sister accused me of not really belonging in the family seeing as how I'm one of those _restorer_ freaks, and not the least bit a hot rodder. So of course then I had to start talking about getting just the right alloy of 3mm brass stock, and finding a plater, and about how maybe it would be a crime to fix the damn thing AT ALL because that would mess up it's provenance. Fun fun. (the part is made, with 1/8" drill rod and 4-40 threads). -- http://www.wescottdesign.com |
