  • Simple Picture Framing
    You can make it with Simple Pictu re Framing Professional picture framing is expensive. The Triton Workcentre enables you to cut the perfect mitres needed for picture framing, and use of the Router and Jigsaw Table makes it possible to shape your own simple mouldings. This project sheet differs from the others in that no dimensions are provided. Instead, we have provided you with a range of procedural options to guide you in making the picture frame that best meets your needs. 3tD &"u Tool 1. ESSENTIAL 1. Making your picture f rame f rom purchased moulding: Triton Workcentre and your power saw, f itted with a 40 or 60 tooth blade (essential for clean mitre cuts), mitre square or combination square, hammer, nail punch, sandpaper. 2. Shaping your own mouldings: Triton Accessory Router and Jigsaw Table, your router, and a selection of decorative router cutters. 3. A jig for working on end grain is needed if you intend to strengthen the mitres by use of a spline (See the Jig Guide for details of the jig). A small handsaw will also be necessary to trim the splines. 2. USEFUL: Mitre corner clamps to aid assembly, an extension fence mounted onto Face A of the double-sided protractor, and a mitred stop block, to ensure accurate cutting to length. @ Copyright Triton Manufacturing and Design Co. Pty. Ltd. /ssue No. 2, July 1989 Construction Details Material Shoppinq List 1. WOOD Any seasoned, straight-grained timber is suitable. To determine the total length of your frame material, the standard equation is: Twice the length plus twice the width of the picture, plus eight times the width of the moulding.

  • Comments on Double-Theodolite Evaluations
    322 BULLETIN AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY Comments on Double-Theodolite Evaluations ROBERT O. WEEDFALL AND WALTER M. JAGODZINSKI U. S. Weather Bureau (Original manuscript received 7 May 1960; revised manuscript received 26 August 1960) 1. Introduction After reading an article [1], in the May 1959 issue of the Bulletin of the AMS wherein Mssrs. Hansen and Taft describe another method of computing double-theodolite runs, it was realized that a method developed at the AEC installation at Yucca Flat, Nevada is even more efficient than any previous method and could be of great value in speed and saving of man-hours to those wind- research installations that use the double-theodo- lite method. Further, it does not need special plotting boards but utilizes the standard Weather Bureau equipment with a few ingenious adaptations. FIG. 1. Winds-aloft plotting board, showing position of three distance scales. (360-deg intervals not indicated.) 2. Materials needed (1) Winds-aloft plotting board (fig. 1). A 3-ft-square board with distance scales running from the center to the bottom, with a movable circular piece of plastic attached to the center of the board, whose outer edge is marked off in 360-deg intervals. (2) Circular protractor (fig. 2). A 10-inch- square piece of clear plastic divided into 360-deg intervals. (3) Appropriately marked scale in the shape of an "L" (fig. 3). (4) Scotch tape, rubber band and short piece of string. (5) Winds-aloft graphing board (fig. 4). A rectangular board 2 X 2% ft marked with height FIG. 2. Clear plastic protractor, 10 inches square.
