Clever

That’s a clever idea.

What means "53%" ?

Lutz

Lutz, CNR used the % symbol

Lutz,

CNR used the % symbol to represent 1,000 pounds tractive effort So, the 53% represents 53,000 pounds tractive effort. Tractive effort describes the pulling or pushing capability of a locomotive.

Feature or App

Dee,

I really like that idea for aligning numbers and letters. Would have been great to know before all the ones I've applied by Kentucky windage that are ever so slightly misaligned.

What is the feature or app on (my wife's) iPad that is used there?

Dee

 That is brilliant!

 I second Kent's question.

Kent,After taking a photo

Kent and Rick,

After taking a photo with the iPad.

Just select the Photos icon on the iPad, select the photo you just taken and select edit.

Select the crop/rotate symbol (highlighted in white when selected) then use you thumb and finger to enlarge the pic and you will see the grid appear. Adjust size of photo or mover photo to align with a line in the grid.

Level out by adjusting where the degrees slide is.

Because you need two hands to take a screen shot by pressing the top button and the Home button at the same time and quickly release both buttons, the trick is to take the screen shot very quicklybefore the grid disappears; the grid disappears when you take your fingers off the screen. You can get someone else to keep a finger on the screen to keep the grid up while taking a screen shot.

Thank you Dee

That is great information. You achieved perfect alignment with that technique.

The thing is you get to see

The thing is you get to see how some brass locos' rivets and seams aren't perfectly aligned; could drive a "rivet counter" nuts.

Thank you Deemiorgos.

My pleasure, Lutz.

My pleasure, Lutz.
