Hi hopefully creative MIT types
* I like to thank Benazeer for all type from the old jobs she has been
putting away.
* I have had a look at the belt, and do not see a new problem.
Or any change from when I made the repair.
* A new belt (I would recommend two) is not a simple fix.
I don't recommend the APOster Letterpress Shop getting new belts yet.
The make and model of the motor isn't all that important in specing
a new belt, but it wouldn't hurt.
* IT BE VERY USEFUL TO ME, if you notice a problem with the belt or
anywhere in the Press Shop, to TAKE PICTUREs of the problem -
both from the inside & outside.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CAMERA PHONE, please check with everyone else in
the APOffice.
Either attach the two photos to your email to this list,
or put them on a websight, and email the two URL links to this
list.
* Does anyone know if there is a camera in the APOffice, with a USB
cable, that could be used instead of a camera phone?
Location?
If not, could someone please ask apo-historian@mit.edu?
* If ELLEN/ADAM had sent photos,
it would have saved me three hours of my life.
* If BENAZEER had sent photos,
it would have saved me a second three hours of my life.
* There is A LOT MORE FOR ME TO SAY about the belt,
and other emails this term - both from Benazeer et al.
It will take a while to get to it all. Including explaining what
isn't fully above.
I'm still recovering from the traumatic head injury and the
surgeries. And I have had a recent set-back, when will probably
extend the recovery period to two or more years from now.
Which makes me wish even more those six hours had NOT been wasted.

Subject: Re: Another crack in the belt
Hi all,
I've been out of the country with spotty internet for the last week and a
half. Has anyone been in touch with local shops for further information?
The earliest I can get into the shop to get the make/model of our motor and
specs on the belt is sometime next week . . .
