With those short-throw valves, shouldn’t it say “1”, “100”, “1001”!? :shock:

I made the button inserts before I retired using a CNC milling machine. I had sized them to put on the bands Jupiter and used a different set. I'll have to make a pad to get it o fit the 22K properly, maybe with my 3D printer.

Bloke, find some geek to count in "Base Two" to get the joke.

I'm posting a picture of last years Jupiter

What I don't get is Windshieldbug's variation, and it's bugging me. I suspect I'm wasting my time on the binary arithmetic angle.

Just that with short strokes you can add up faster.
If I’d thought about it, it could’ve been “.1”, “1.0”, ‘1.1”... :oops:

How many bits do you use with it?

(my apology if the picture answers it; apparently i don't have permissions* to see it)



*slang for permissions in some circles is... the bits.
