fv1609 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A little bit different this time. An ingenious system for automobile fault-finding. What is the name of this system? What were the essentials of the apparatus used? When? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Clive, Intriguing, thought it might be from an old book I have from my grandfather, but appears not. Would they be talking about dowsing or divining rods? Edited November 3, 2011 by Richard Farrant spelt divining wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Picture not coming up. OK is on a diffrent server. Are a bell book and candle involved? Edited November 3, 2011 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Pendulum, swung in a circular motion as when dowsing for pregnancy, when fault is touched pendulum reverses direction and stops... I have often had success with this method.......:whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritineye Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Is it the 'Mad as a box of frogs' :nut: method Clive? Can't think of a more fitting name.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I was impressed by your very subtle clues, just allowing a tiny bit of the 'p's and 'd's showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well done Bernard you are good at these slightly off-beat ones. I thought Richard was in there on the trail. The year is the year of the Pig ie of the first FV1609 ie 1956. The title of the technique seems to confer a certain sense of science to the technique which claims amongst many things, to find arithmetical errors, forged notes & stamps, various medical conditions including hypertension, agriculture,food that is bad for you, purity of water etc. I bought this booklet for £1, for the same price I also purchased the Constitution of the USSR, I'm still trying weigh up which is the more believable.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 1956 ??? I was way off, thought it was something from the pioneer motoring days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing we are in the era of the B Series engine yet others are dangling lead weights over parts manuals. So do you use a danglely thing at work for those hard to solve cases.

I tend to rely on the traditional rubber chicken. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2321 Unless SCSI in involved, at which point only goats (and black candles) will do.:shocking: Chris.
