Workshop swing crane Mk2

[Windy Miller]

Sammys Old Horse
Carried Auntie Hannah
To Old Aberdeen

Silly Old Harry
Caught A Herring
Trawling Off America

 

[Dcal]

The version I remember from well over 50 years ago is

Three old angels
Skipped over heaven
Carrying a harp

Nice work on the crane @pete but I have no idea what everyone is going on about in the last few posts!
Some form of Masonic code?
The only thing I'll mention is that the angle of the crane doesn't match the roof line

I can remember the values were in my log tables book.
I have no idea what we did with them, far too long ago.

Trig rules for right angled triangles. If you know the length of any two sides, or any one side and an angle you can work out all the angles and lengths with 3 rules.

Sin() = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
Cos() = Base/Hypotenuse
Tan() = Perpendicular/Base

Is how I remember it.

@Pete. I'm really sorry I sent your thread off on such a tangent (I suppose that's a different formula though).

Would you like me to move off the non-relevant posts into a new thread?

Nah It's ok

No one uses "cosy" then? COS goes with adjacent and hypotenuse because the angle is up close and cosy with them. Doesn't help you remember Tan of course, or which way up the fraction goes.
