gEDA-user: new list: metrology

[Dave McGuire]

   Hi folks.  I have permission from Ales to post this announcement  
here.

   I've just started up a new mailing list, metrology at neurotica.com,  
which is intended to support discussions regarding metrology (the  
science of measurement) and metrology-related equipment, with a focus  
on electronics.  Think passive AC bridges, Kelvin-Varley dividers,  
Thomas one-ohm resistors, sub-1ppm voltage measurements, hot boxed  
zeners, stuff like that.

   For example, I just spent most of today characterizing a bank of  
Weston-type standard cells against a Fluke 335D DC calibrator and  
Fluke 732A DC reference standard...does this make you think "oh,  
cool!"?  Do your eBay saved searches include entries like "dc  
standard -superman -gibson -washington" and "northrup 4210*"?  You've  
just finished restoring a 100-year-old Leeds & Northrup potentiometer  
to perfection and you want to share the pictures?  If so, this list  
is for you.

   It will be a private list with public archives.  It is intended to  
be a forum for free communication amongst like-minded individuals,  
and the exchange of ideas, information, experiences, and assistance.   
Occasional "for sale" postings are welcome, as are occasional off- 
topic jaunts, but members are requested to keep things at least  
mostly on-topic.
