Nuts and bolts - (09/06)

After yesterdays excitement its still all hands to the pump (well screw actually) as the team in the Torrs continue with the project - any key dates/events that are worth watching or have happened will be posted on here.

Below is some video footage from two weeks ago showing the shuttering being dismantled, the shuttering was used to form the walls before concrete was poured in - as ever our thanks to Ken for the pictures and his err... choice of music !

I have a degree in Ancient Greek History and know for a fact that Archimedes had no interest in sex whatsoever and very probably never had a screw. So why is the Archimedes Screw so named?

Good question Terry - let me put that one to the engineers on the project and see if I can get you a sensible answer... watch this space.

Watching and waiting but nothing yet.

The answers so far were not sensible.
