Go to Post Trapping JVN (or any other IFI employee) is negative infinity [I]and[/I] a caption contest. Trapping 1114 is a measly 50 points, unless you trap Karthik, which multiplies your entire score by -1. - EricH [more]

Re: Ordering Bimba Cylinders
Thanks for pointing that out, if you got them free on the BIMBA/FIRST website link,then they are definitely legal.

I do believe that maybe in one of the previous years, you couldn't get them though, because I think I tried. I Could be wrong, getting older yah know!

Re: Ordering Bimba Cylinders
You are most definitely correct, I looked at a 2005 manual and the 1/2" stroke was available.

Sorry if I may have misled anyone.

Re: Ordering Bimba Cylinders
Yeah...

Anyways, I FINALLY got my cylinders.

FYI! don't order from Bimba's distributor in San Jose, they are completely incompetent. I ordered the cylinders and nothing happened for three weeks. I called them up and they had forgot to ship them I called them again but to no avail, they never showed up. I finally gave up and bought them somewhere else.

How interesting. Either this past year or the year before, I ordered two of the smallest cylinders, and a rotary actuator (through the FIRST order form). Like 2 and a half weeks later, no word, no shipment, so I call them. Rotary actuator was out of stock, so they put the whole order on hold and never let me know.

We bought our cylinders from them this year.

Got them 5 days later, max.
