Changing light bulbs
|

I was wondering if forum goers could share their experiences of changing light bulbs.
Any tricks for young players, handy hints and the like would be much appreciated.

I once lost a layer of skin off my finger tips trying to change a lightbulb. Brain didn't realise that having been on for 5 hours, it might be hot.

I was actually waiting for Norbie to tell me to do a search, and Ed to find/correct any spelling errors and also identify some other esoteric form of light bulb.
Dude, my old Mk2 used to like the wet, but I was actually SLOWER ( ) in the wet with this one than my other one with the 4M. I suppose tripling the power and stiffening the suspension made it into the oversteerer from hell! Breaking traction and stepping sideways at 120 kph in a straight line is not my idea of fun. Oh it's Winton by the way. I have changed the rear springs so we'll see what it's like from here on.

tripling the power would have its handeling disadvantages.

and by the way, it is light bulb, not lightbulb.
and secondly, suck on this, edison did NOT invent the light bulb:
In 1875, Edison purchased half of a Toronto medical electrician's patent to further his own research. That researcher was named James Woodward.
Woodward and a colleague by the name of Matthew Evans, described in the patent as a "Gentleman" but in reality a hotel keeper, filed a patent for the Woodward and Evan's Light on July 24, 1874.
Working at the Morrison's Brass Foundry on Adelaide St. West in Toronto, they built the first lamp with a shaped rod of carbon held between electrodes in an glass bulb filled with nitrogen.
Woodward and Evans were treated as cranks and subject to much public ridicule. "Who needs a glowing piece of metal!!" They attempted, with very little success, to form a company to raise money to refine and market their invention.
In 1876, Woodward obtained a U.S. patent on his electric lamp and, in 1879, Edison considered it sufficiently important to completely buy out the patent from Woodward, Evans, and all their Canadian partners. Woodward sold a share of his Canadian patent to Thomas Edison in 1885.

And here is the letter to the patents office some 5 years before T. Edison was on the scene.

This is a not dissimilar situation to A.G.Bell being credited with the invention of the telephone.
