There was a site I was going to help put scanned manuals on. They found out their server would not tolerate copyrighted & restricted material being published. Although it surprises me that so much of that type of stuff is openly sold on a professional basis on ebay & milweb. A restricted club site it might be ok but a site that is wide open to all is more tricky I would have thought.

How about a reference library with copies of various manuals, parts lists etc

May put Jack in a difficult position with copyright, classified, restricted issues etc? Some servers have objected to this sort of thing elsewhere I believe.

Some Saxon Patrols have wings as well. I was told by one member of the security forces that such a vehicle in some quarters was refered to as a 'simplicity'

I don't think I want to explain that one. :roll:

I thought I would see what happened if I came on from my wife's PC. I am on it now I could open the forum OK. But doing it from a link in an email gives the error message & OE has to shut down.

So it behaves exactly as my PC but what to do about plug ins I don't know. It's not such a big deal I suppose. Because if I follow the link I have a nose around other postings whilst I'm there. So I will take note of the link, ignore it, open the forum, nose around then look at the posting I was notified about. So I can get used to that.

To be on the safe side I cleared my cookies. Then opened the home page ok.

I prefer to view as a visitor as it just says "Welcome" rather than when you log in you get that annoying "Hey". When I do log in it often says OE has to close etc when I sent a message to microsoft it replied with:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=db135871-773f-4e74-ab73-a9f0849c8452&SID=1476

But got a bit pefuddled by the advice given, but perhaps others may be able to understand the advice.

Thinking about it. The problem doesn't seem to happen when I go to the front page myself. But when I get an email about a thread I am watching & I click the link then it seems to be the problem. I just got it when I followed the link to this thread.

I just get the top intro lines then it freezes & there is a microsoft message that the programme is not responding. Even when I do the end now option it often doesn't respond until several attempts. I shall ignore email links & go to the home page & then into the topic & see if that is trouble free.

hey -! got one right at last!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

 

Yup. Does anyone know if TOBIAS is still used? This isn't part of the quiz, I don't know the answer.

I felt I was missing out!

But in the last week or so I can't open the front page. The page starts then a grey panel from Microsoft appears saying an error with Outlook Express has occured & the application has to close. I then open up OE again & no problem. It doesn't happen the second time & sometimes I don't have the problem at all. I find no other sites does this happen, only recently on here. If it were a cookie problem why does it always allow access on the second attempt without a fuss? Is this the problem others have had or is this my own special problem?

seismic perimeter defence detector

 

Yup well done it is a geophone used in TOBIAS - Terrestial Oscillation Battlefield Intruder Alarm System

See page 11 of:

OK - a low voltage mic. Too big to be a throat mic so must be used in some other specialised application. 9 feet of cable is a fair old length - maybe some form of audio surveillance device???

 

Hmmh yes but how & what? But here is the giveaway

is it something to do with crack detection?? welds??

 

Hmmh no

Some sort of microphone?

 

Well done yes. But it is very special sort.

Neil, to give you a sense of proportion. The closet distance between the aluminium rings is 1.3 inches. The double wires that come from it are 9 foot long.

If it is electrical

Yes

is it 12, 24 or 240 volts?

No, much lower voltage

Is it in current British Army use?

Dunno if still in service but was introduced in early 1970s

Is it a power lead that clip's onto something (center brass looking thing for +ve, and the 2 outer metal band's for -ve) A lamp maybe?

 

No

Is it operated with a foot?

 

No

Something to do with field telephones???

 

Good idea, but no.

Any chance of scanning that in as a PDF file Clive????

 

Neil, normally yes. But the main PC crashed a week ago & new one is getting the software installed gradually but it won't load the acrobat writer. When I can I'll do AB562 sections 1-4 as well.

Anyone got any other suggestions as to keeping an eye on vehicle maintenance??.

What about using A.B. 562 (Section 2)

More general to British Army
