I am looking for a contact address for either Kenics themselves or a
company that sells their mixers or something similar. They make static
or inline mixers, which I am interested in, and a variety of other
stuff. I would particularly like a UK contact. I would prefer Email
replies, if there is any other interest I will be happy to post the
result.

Thanks in advance,

Can you access  rec.crafts.brewing  or  alt.beer?
I've gotten some helpful hints for 'buck-a-gallon' wine, brewing in an old
hot water heater, things of that nature.  Currently thinking about applying
ChE experience for a 40-gallon batch.  Since I won't be drinking it, I'm 
not picky about the product quality.

Cna anyone tell me exactly what nickel activators do? I'm looking for a
nickel activator that is alkaline to use with cyanide gold in a brush plating
operation. Most nickel activators I've tested are acidic and that's a no no
around cyanide.

If anyone knows of a alkaline nickel activator or a good looking non cyanide
gold solution, I would much appreciate hearing about it. Cyanide makes me
 nervous. One potassium aurocyanide solution I sent away for has a p4hof 4.7.
How can a cyanide be suspended in an acid ????

Why aren't we switching to meti metric faster? Simple: economics. Although
calculation and measurement would be easier (cheaper) in metric vs. 
English (yes, we still blame them for this system of units!), the change 
would have a tremendous short term cost. Think about why the rest of the world

I agree that most women who persue engineering do it because they
truly want to!  There certainly are societal factors, another is
the dearth of women classmates (perhaps only in smaller schools?).
My wife (ME '88) has taken (and continues to take in her MSME at 
CSULB) some courses as the only woman.  She has also told me about infantile 
instructors (men too suffer such fools, but women will sometimes 
have a harder time), infantile classmates, etc.  In her current 
employment (SoCal Aerospace), men greatly outnumber women, so she continues 
to suffer a lack of women coworkers.

As an engineer by degree (Naval Arch. '79, no women engineering graduates),
I can vouch for much of this.  I will also comment that CS (my current
profession) does not suffer nearly as much from the above.  There will
_always_ be infantile instructors, students, and employees - but that's life.

I just posted about the conversion between miles and feet, and thought I might
clear up any confusion I might have introduced.

The normal units are foot and statute mile, and the conversion is 5280 feet/
statute mile.
There is also a US survey foot that is 1.000002 feet.  This is not usually 
used unless you are a surveyor (I guess :^) ).
There is also a measure of pressure known as a foot of water, and it is the 
pressure that one would find one foot below the surface of fresh water at sea
level, and is 2989.07 Pa.

As far as miles, the one normally used is the statute mile, as defined above.
In addition the US survey mile is 5280 US survey feet.
The nautical mile is used most often in nautical and aviation applications, and
is 6076.1155 feet, or 1.150779 statute miles.

Now a mile of water as pressure is... just kidding. :^)

Those are all that I _now_ know about.  I hope this helps

I offer my thoughts maily to give different perspectives:  a 
sr. meche student and a male pig. (these thoughts are random musings
and not necessarily what I believe to be true! i don't think that I am
a sexist pig.)

Why is there a high percentage of women in honor societies?  Are they
more motivated?  Are they given preferential treatment by professors?
(the high ratio situation does not exist at RPI (good?/bad?))

Why is the number of women in engineering schools increasing?  Is
society finaly starting to encourage them to become engineers?  Are
the admission standards less stringent?

just some musings...

Hopefully, this won't cause too much of a flame war, but...

In my years as an engineer (both practicing and studying), I have
notice that there are more women in Chem E and ECE than in Mech E.  I
must assume that this is due to social conditioning; which does not
motivate women to engage in activities that promote spatial relations.
The women I know in Mech E are predominantly in thermo and related
areas and not in mechanisms.  So, asking Mech E about the percentage
of women in engineering will probably result in estimates that are a
little on the low side.

I can't wait until we go metric!!!  WHY does anyone want to hang on to this
system of units??  (if the original poster was waylaid by these length
conversions, he should try his hand at the thermo units!)

When are we supposed to be converted by, currently?  '94?  '97?  Not soon

Speaking as a Mech E who did *awful* in thermo, but pretty well in mechanicms,
stress analysis, etc, I'd definitely agree with the "social conditioning"
statement.  I am the daughter of an Elec. Engr., and was brought up in an
environment that encouraged spatial relation type things--he liked to work
on his '65 Barracuda, *I* like(d) (still do) to work on cars.  Most women/girls
just don't have that environment growing up.  I'm glad I did!

Speaking also for the class of '84, we had only 2 or 3 (or so) women outa 100
(or so) (see, I can't remember the exacts, either! :-)) of Mech Engrs at the 
Univ. of TN. 

For the orig. poster, I'd try calling some local colleges or perhaps the Engr
societies to get an idea of the numbers of us women folk in engineering these
days.

As for the "typical male" statements made on this thread, I don't see why you
guys would *want* women in your classes--most women who enter engineering are
sooooo smart that they blow the typical male minds away (ref. post on high
percentage of women in engr honor societies) and what male likes to be put in
his place by a smarter woman?  (Start your flamethrowers...)  BTW, I *wasn't*
