The Museum was visited today by Bion Balding, director of the Latrobe Street Gallery. The proposed exhibition has now been rescheduled for early 2008, probably February-March.
Work has been progressing well in the Museum's technical research department, particularly in the developing the application of intermittent timers.
It must be admitted however that any progress in the laboratories has been partly at the expense of the public display area where not a lot has happened recently. The Electric Semaphore Mixer remains as a static display most of the time, with occasional test flights of intermittent power. The tests have been limited because they use mains voltage (230V AC) with exposed connections that would not receive the blessing of any safety audit or public liability insurer. But after all the research department is not a public place and visitors are warned not to touch.
