Graham, thanks for that "general certificate of secondary education" clarification.
I'm glad I wasn't born a twin, I'm sure my sibling would work better and faster than me and at at our age he would certainly remember more.

It was one of four we cast for a young lads gcse project that my son was teaching,not sure what he was making but they had to be turned & bored to fit, all I did was the casting as they had no foundry facilities at his school.

Good afternoon Dear Father :) The lad was making a radio using 3" acrylic tube as the body. The aluminium rings were machined up to fit on the ends of the tube to hold the speakers. The pattern was turned up on a woodlathe from MDF and finished with sanding sealer and wet-and-dry paper.
