The current topic about the cost of taps and dies for gearbox main shaft threads has me thinking. You know, once upon a time we shared a book around the world so that anyone interested could read it (Triumph Around the World). The current holder would bear the shipping cost. It made it to a lot of stops before interest waned. (By the way, who has it now?) I think my point may already be made. If you need to borrow a tool, ask. If someone is willing to loan it out he can set the conditions.
