Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO]doodling with ideas

Hi again Joe
You are of course speaking of the bearing within a bearing. Probably just a sucker looking for punishment. I just like thinking about
doing things in novel ways, so I thought , while I'm talking about harebrained stuff,,,, I would ask to see who else had played with the
idea.

Having a slow day. Bill D

My spell checker leads to all sorts of not very useful info: :0)

Usage Note: The first part of the compound harebrained is often misspelled hair in the belief that the meaning of the word is “with a
hair-sized brain” rather than “with no more sense than a hare.” Though hairbrained has a long history, this spelling is not established
usage.
