Due to the lack of response from this site I was obliged to contact Connor Farthingford to seek his advice. It transpired that Connor Farthingford, as a child, had a desire to become a demarcation line when he grew up, but sadly had to settle for becoming a farriers tea pot instead.....and a...

True to form, the local chap who deals in imported elongated anthracite wheel hoop trunnions has run out of stock, and is not expecting to get any more into his stock until some time after the end of November. This leaves me with a bit of a problem because I have never fitted anything else, and...

I was once talking to Jaypee, as we used to call him, when he suddenly mentioned his wooden leg. I had not noticed it was not a real leg, I just thought he was rather smaller at that side. He said that his mother had found the leg at the road side and rather than waste it she had it fitted to...

Well, kind sir. "It would seem to me that the "top hat" as you call it, is a float that shuts off the airflow to the fan if water gets too high up in the main central chamber or if the tank is overfilled." You are correct there. I do not know if this item, which I refer to as a " "water safety"...

The "bucket" is a very straight forward plastic tub with an inverted swan neck tube directing the dirty air and its contents down into the space below the separator. A chunk of the base of the separator is cut away (along with the seal to allow this to occur. I think this ends what has turned...
