Interesting act of Vandalism

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Art

According to my Russian built wrist watch today is the 17th of May 2014. I’m at the Hopkinton library sopping up the internet for all it’s worth but something interesting happened on the way over. My recently serviced front brakes didn’t seem to brake all that well so when I got to the library I touched the rotors to see if they were evenly warm and my hand came away greasy. I ride and antique motorcycle so yes I carry clean rags with me and I wiped both rotors clean. There’s not obvious source for black grease on the bike and the brakes had been working fine. I wonder who is trying to make a statement?

About Art

55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
