I'm modelling a French railroad in New Jersey! Strangely enough, I may be moving there soon...

Mike, No offence taken. I just pulled 3" out of thin air as a somewhat reasonable example so I could check out how important the decimal places were in pi. I wasn't suggesting that the rise should actually be 3". Tad, Thanks. Yes, that's what they were called when I went to school -...

There is no exact definition of pi. It's been calculated to millions of digits but it never ends. It can be proven that it never ends. Numbers like that have a name and I used to know what it is :confused: The amount of precision here is irrelevant anyway - a loop of helix isn't quite a...

One for the traction guys. Is "Tram" the right word for this beast?

Don, There will be a white dot or a recessed circle on the top face of the chip. It is next to pin 1. From there, the rest will be in the order shown on the back of the package.

Tyson, Not really sure what you are looking for but how's this?
