Oh, I see its problem. It's been looking down the wrong end.

I'm only good at recognising crap adjacent to what the (defunct) Reading Polymer Physics Group had in the late nineties.

Thus, this from the Kirkaldy Testing Museum last w/e. "Oh it's an Instron tensometer. They're shite."

At my previous job we had an Instron 1333 whose serial number was double digits. We couldn't upgrade the software because the new software couldn't interface with the machine.

It worked like a dream and refused to die

Are you geeky about your bread/pizza baking? I mean *really* geeky, like using an Instron to determine the best dough relaxers sounds fascinating? Modernist Cuisine has been posting pointers from Modernist Bread and Modernist Pizza to their blog and it's really cool stuff. modernistcuisine.com/blog/

"Specifically, we investigated how resistant cory catfish armor is to a range of natural and theoretical piranha bite forces and how often this protection translated to survival from predator attacks by Corydoras."

and cut out countless samples of plastic sheeting, bringing them to the lab at stony brook and testing them on the instron. if i felt a certain sample would be interesting i would turn on the plotter and capture the stress-strain curve.

The Instron was first developed during World War II to test the tensile strength of parachutes.

Now, Mechanical Engineering Professor Kristin Meyers and her PhD students are using it for a different kind of life-saving technology—preventing preterm births.
