Ah okay. I was just wondering if you used something to get the rays to come out in a 180 degree arc.

Great photos i like no 8 it has a great potential for profit.The amount of scrap metal on view is impressive the two valves above the boiler on the right could be worth a bit if they are gun metal. Next time you go take a hack saw or a set of stihlsons and you could be up for a new K 5 for your trouble

.... and mesothelioma. That room is choc full of nasty asbestos used to lag the pipes and the boilers. Much of it has already come away from the pipes. I was exceedingly careful not to touch or disturb anything while snapping in there. Lightroom is currently doing something, but when it's finished I'll upload some asbestos pics

Think you need to get on the phone to the Health and Safety Executive
