Is that for measuring the average airspeed velocity of a European Swallow?

The little Red bench grinder is 415 volts , it was working some 10 years ago , it was disconnected because the lathe was sold and had no need to sharpen any tools on it! will re-instate it and use it maybe !

GO AWAY.
Stop teasing us mere mortals.
