Eddy current: a localized electric current induced in a conductor by a varying magnetic field.

Eddie the Head: or just “Eddie”. Long serving mascot of band Iron Maiden. First appearing in 1980.

Eddy currants can be produced by passing live conductors through separate holes in a metal sheet. (Ferro magnetic) such as entering an enclosure.

This effect is negated if the conductors all pass through one bigger hole.

I thought I'd be the first one to point out the auto-correct on your otherwise excellent post!

(Very difficult to purposefully get that wrong with aotocorrect, but buzz manages every single day)

Yes…. Wooden “washer” between trunking and mainswitch. Oval hole. Not individual holes.

No eddies going on here.

Had breakfast with him once (Bruce Dickinson). Didn't mean to, but he insisted he needed help with what's best described as a mountain of bacon butties that had been brought to him, seemed rude not to. Nice chap and refreshingly clever.

Was a good fencer in his day, i heard

Swords... not planting wooden sticks in the ground

Well I didn't mean to cause offence and thought my reactions to posts originally linking Eddy and Eddie might have made that clear.

Dickinson is a man of considerable talent.

Don’t know who you offended there??

Anyway… can anyone read Roman numerals? I’m getting 1835

In the second holiday cottage which has access to a locked door attic containing a clock on the gable. Used to have electric for a light, but been taken out. (Cut wires etc)
I would think the constantly ticking clock would give the holidaying guests a sleepless time.

Very nice find.

1735. You were close but no cigar.

littlespark · Mar 24, 2023

100 years out, close.

I should have asked Tel…. He was around when the Roman numeral system was invented

I would guess he's the only rock singer that's also been a commercial airline pilot.

There may be others, but none that spring to mind. Probably for the best as few rock singers would be suited to riding a bicycle, much less flying planes.
