Dear Sir, I think you made a mistake, cnc reducing machine works exactly as you wrote that it does not work. Nanominter (talk) 23:05, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@Nanominter Regarding Reducing Machine ... I stated on the talk page "Please do not add general purpose machines (CNC, etc.) that do not reduce a design from one physical original to a smaller physical copy." A CNC DOES NOT reduce a design from one physical original to a smaller physical copy. A CNC (computer numerical control), is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. That computer is digital, and as such it CAN make a smaller copy of an object, if the object has been digitized. It can also make whatever else it is programmed to do. But it, by itself, can not make a direct copy from one physical object to another, which is the sole purpose of the pantograph. I am not saying that you could not program a CNC to use a sensor probe to digitize an object, store the data, and then use the CNC to create a reduced sized object. But that is not a normal operation for a CNC. That would be something else.  • Bobsd •  (talk) 07:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Nanominter Oh, and if you want to add a topic to someone's talk page, please use New Section. Don't just barf on some random section of the page.  • Bobsd •  (talk) 07:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Aloha Shirt

Actually, I'd like to apologize for my edit on Aloha Shirt, which appears to have been made in error. My actual intention was to revert a much earlier deletion, by user:Rainbowkouji which appeared to have been entirely spurious in nature, and was not related at all to your particular edit.Zmflavius (talk) 17:31, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Rewrite of Metrology

Hello! I noticed on the talk page of Metrology that you had flagged it for a rewrite back in 2014. I noticed this tag and have spent some time over the last month rewriting the entire article to be more comprehensive and improve the referencing. Considering that you originally tagged the article if you have time would you mind taking a read through the revised article and providing any feedback as to improvements that you notice? Thanks --Imminent77 (talk) 19:41, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
