Re: Taig limit switches

Hi Jon

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I am unable to see the picture,
as I was reading the messages on the Yahoo website. I have changed my
group membership to individual emails. Could you resend the picture
to me direct? I have a broadband connection, so file size is not
critical as long as I can see the detail.

Thanks.

Keith
