RE: [doc] old 80's toy

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The thing with the 5 (or 7) balls is called a "Newtons Cradle" and was a piece of apparatus to show the conservation of momentum and energy..............also makes a good toy!

  Hi glen .They are called pin boxes. I think the discovery store still has 
them or any of those kind of executive toy shops along with those cradles 
with 5 steel balls on them that swing and go click click click click click 
click. I did send an message last week about meeting up down here in Glos 
but it didn't show up on the list. If you all want to you can come here. My 
facilities are very limited but you are wlcome to come. We can cruise round 
for a bit and go to the pub at the airport and have dinner. First or second 
weekends in December are ok for me on the saturdays or sundays. Let me know 
and i'll send directions. Dan 4986 Elanor
