| 1108575 | 2010-06-10 06:06:00 | Working hard you could sight a clock, but to metricate it you need 10 pointers and 1 digit. It will work upside down, for you poor foreigners having to live inverted and at half-voltage. It doesn't really need to be accurate for you lot, even your seasons are six months behind schedule. What your Grandmother would say about that I shudder to think, I can't even begin to guess how you managed to get that far behind in your schedule, but with that and your time lag, it would appear you are so far behind the times the hands should be on the back of your clock. ;) |

The early 1TB drives had 5 platters I think I see. Guess that means more sectors and "cylinders", if I recall that make up platters. |

| 1108578 | 2010-06-10 09:03:00 | hackaday.com Beat that. Well hard to beat...Reminds me when I had to replace the "cam angle sensor" on my car engine distributor (SR20DE Nissan). The theory seems to be similar (after reading online), 180 degree slots with several small marks on a circular plate (which I pulled apart), which "cuts" across a emitting diode/sensor type light to time the engine (I think). The internals were covered in oil which created starting issues. Maybe Surfer Joe may enlighten... |
