So that leaves 1 and 2 the truth. The reversing alarm for towing (2) showed the driver how acute the angle was between the rear of the vehicle doing the towing, and the front of the vehicle being towed. It could be pitch dark, raining, no lights on either vehicle and yet the kit that I invented would allow you to reverse your 'caravan' for example in a straight line! It would also tell you when you reached the point of no return and have to start again. And yes, I also invented (with a Patent granted) the Ronani vehicle load monitor. |

It could also be fitted to artics so that when they drove into a yard for example (rather than reversing), they could turn around without putting the cab through trailer! Never made a penny, but could give budding inventors a whole lot of help regards how to register a Patent on the cheap. Mind you it's still not worth the paper it's written on because China will copy anything, and without your permission! |

LOL@PAUL. I tell you Paul, I have never moved so quickly when I disappeared into the cubicle. I heard one of the girls say 'I'm sure there was a bloke in here just now? I kept very quiet but everytime I wanted to put my escape plan into operation, someone else came in. Mind you, it was a rare enlightenment listening to some of the conversations ! lol It was a summer evening so I had to wait until dark, and until the dance had finished, to make my escape. There were women at the college but they lived in another block, 'Carry On' films technical advisor? You know, I never thought of that! |

Ron Brind Posts: 19041 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England | quotePosted at 19:25 on 11th January 2009 No moola Ray, let alone make more, but I guess the truth is you never know who you are speaking to, be it in the forum or everyday life. On the otherhand somebody has to keep you guys in stockings in business! Perhaps I'd better add a he, he, he as Peter would say! |

How strange that is in your comment, I was going to tell you how the Sinclair's were kin-tied of my mother's side of family...your maternal mother was English/Irish..that's strange also, most people came over dealing with the Native American's were English or French and the Scot-Irish fought the frontiers with the Germans backing them in gun technology, an later addition to eh colonies...particualy through the Blue Ridge Mountian area's of Virgina into the Carolina's. Though I do know of an Percell family we are connected to that might of been "Percy" in England also, and King Edward, of the Plangent family indeed owned an summer castle in Endinburg, Scotland. I have my differences in history also, in that the Chenoweth family we have kinship with means something completely different then what they list, in "Gaelic" it means "church way" sweeper, or basically someone that does "vespers" for the head priest of the church...sweeps the way clear for him spiritually, to receive communion with the divine. They are now doing an over-haul fo their longtime legacy...not because of me, but something else they found in information concerning lineages for whose who in their family. |
