A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Hi All,

One of the useful sources that I have found for designing my own (experimental) floating plinth is: http://qualia.webs.com/plinthbuilding.htm.

Although obviously not the last word on the subject it has some useful suggestions that might help other explorers.

As always...

"Hank" is an apparently American nickname for someone whose given name is "Henry". Thus, the famous baseball player, Henry Aaron, is better known as "Hank Aaron". Now you mention your unfamiliarity with "Hank", I am not sure that they use it as a nickname in Oz, either. By the way, there is nothing pejorative about it. Henry/Hank is probably off somewhere with a pint of Foster's, ever since Adam Scott won the Masters. One of my Australian friends emailed to me that he was in tears over this victory, the first for an Aussie.

Correct Lew, my father's name was Henry and everyone called him Hank.

Hi Dgob,
Unfortunately your Link does not lead to the page you suggest?
Are you able to re-load?

'Hank' is purely an American epithet for 'Henry'.
Whilst I would have preferred it whilst growing up.......in Australia, it simply doesn't exist.
Although we do have a certain eccentricity in knowing the famous actor Tom Henrys who appeared in Sleepless in Seattle?
