Welcome To BEA

Leo was a strange man. He didn’t form any alliances. He smoked at one time, and he quit smoking. He didn’t drink. He wouldn’t go back to [trade] shows. I’d have people out here on these purchase investigations [when Fender was up for sale in the '60s] and it was like pulling teeth to get him to meet them.

Well, yes, because we sold them. You see, the guitar player in the band without amplification was lost, because you couldn’t turn up the volume on a guitar till you had so much feedback you couldn’t play it. So with the solidbody guitar, all of a sudden the guy could play as loud as a drummer—he could blow the drummer off. It was just a matter of necessity, being in the market and seeing all these various things that we did that were timely and we took advantage of.

“As it is nitric acid-free it eliminates the risk of nitric fumes within the production area. And the absence of hexavalent chromium means all effluents can be treated in our existing waste water plant,​” said Roche.

Not only are fiber lasers for cutting applications dominating the market, their quality is improving. Increased laser power, speed, and capability are enabling new applications.

Automation-ready. The machine supports fieldbus interfaces (Ethernet/IP and PROFIBUS) for conversion from manual welding to semiautomated and fully automated applications. This includes support for GTAW fusion as well as wire-feed applications, including those where the wire feed is synchronized with the welding pulse output. It also includes connection to the manufacturer’s FD-series of welding robots through its proprietary CANBUS communication network.

After turning down the volume for a while to allow my ears to recalibrate, I moved over to some solo piano in regular CD-quality FLAC format. It was Tzimon Barto playing Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2. I’ve long been of two minds about this recording. The playing is utterly thrilling, but the recording is a touch too bright on an already bright piano. Again, these speakers tamed that top-end just a little. It was still clear that this was a bright piano, but by eschewing a flashy top-end, the Q Acoustics speakers provided it as it was, not to excess. Barto’s busy left hand was given the prominence it deserved, without the fundamental frequencies being overwhelmed by their upper harmonics. Meanwhile, the accelerating sections on the right-hand end of the keyboard were beautifully sweet, rather than forced.

The Pro Circuit team does not use the stock KX250 gearbox. They have special gearboxes made in England, using high-strength metals and gear ratios that differ from the stock ratios in that they are based on the amount of rpm drop per shift—not on whether second gear is closer to third. Although we could tell immediately on the track that first gear was taller, which probably translates into the most used gears being a little closer to each other throughout the ratios. The stock sprockets are 14/52. In Supercross, contrary to popular belief, the riders try to run higher gears, especially in the whoops, to lessen gear lash. Of course the British gears are polished and coated for superior performance. At one time, Pro Circuit made extra gearboxes and offered them to the public, but the price was not conducive to sales, so they dropped the idea.

Keep in mind that threads longer than 1.5 times the diameter of the hole do not actually add to the strength of the connection.

The plinth is characterized by a unique shape that incorporates a reinforcing layer of composite material: this design allowed them to create an anti-resonant barrier between the tonearm/cartridge axis and the motor, considerably improving the audio quality:

The nylon or polyester material of tent bodies can easily be sewn onto other tents or camping gear to patch holes or tears. If you want to get more creative, turn it into gym bags, grocery bags, or wallets for yourself or friends and family. If you’d rather ship the tent off to someone else to repurpose, programs like Green Guru accept donations and reinvent them as backpacks or even beer-can holders for bikes.
