All entries "postmarked" before noon ET of the contest closing day will be placed in a hat(electronic hat, actually) and two winners selected. Winners will be the first two entries selected at random that are valid and have the correct answer to the contest question. The winners will be announced on contest closing day at 8 P.M.

Question for day 6.....

Most everyone is familiar with the ubiquitous #2 Morse taper that is a part of just about every wood lathe we use. There are two other sizes that are somewhat less commonly in use……the #1 Morse taper and the #3 Morse taper, however, there are several other MT sizes as well. What is the full range of Morse Taper sizes?

Email your answer to: CLOSED

Please show the date and name of the contest in the subject line of your email entry i.e., 6 FEB Trivia. You can copy/paste the preceeding. (This saves time for the TriviaMeister in processing entries.) Also be sure to include your screen name with your answer!!

Note: "Laundry list" entries that include several possible alternative answers are "NOT" acceptable. Submit only one answer per question or question part(if there is a multi-part question) unless the question specifically asks for multiple answers. Thanks.

The TriviaMeisters have decided there will be "NO" limit on the number of times any one person can win a prize. If you know your stuff and are lucky in the draw, you could win as many as 28 prizes!!!:wink:

There's the aforementioned Morse Taper 2, common in our lathes
The Morse Taper 1 - in some of the SMALL lathes
The Morse Taper 3 - in a very few LARGE lathes

The "Morse Taper Who Cares" used in the REST of the "Tool World"

If the trivia aint got nutin to do wit pens, I aint gotta no it!!!

penhead · Feb 6, 2009

Heck..is it 7 or 42..

rjwolfe3 · Feb 6, 2009

42 of course

DozerMite · Feb 6, 2009

Are we including the metric sizes too?
That will make it much higher than 42.

bobskio2003 · Feb 6, 2009

Know how many of those dots and dashes are there? Must be some sort of code.

Is this a trick question? Are we supposed to know how many Randy has in his shop with this one?

Haven't seen him look this good in a long time.

Must have caught him he was off the bottle for a couple of hours!!:wink:

hdbblue · Feb 6, 2009

The answer is minus 40 - or was that yesterday - so maybe its 1.882 or was that the previous day - no, I know, we change it twice and check the three stickies for the FPP and that Canuck one. - I'm so confused

Pen Maker · Feb 6, 2009

Heck..is it 7 or 42..

I know who ain't winning today's noggin clanger !

Pen Maker · Feb 6, 2009

Yep, this contest is rigged alright. hdbblue is a whole day ahead of US in the timezone /timewarp continuum ! How else could he have all those correct answers in one single post? Could we get you to buy us a lotto ticket for today?

bitshird · Feb 6, 2009

I guess I've got a simple mind cause I know the correct answer, why don't we go for brown & Sharpe tapers next
just remember that Morse tapers are .750 taper per 12.0000 inches isn't that simple
:bananen_smilies027: I knew eventually you'd ask a question I knew the answer to :bananen_smilies027:

Hmmmmm..... I thought it was about .6" taper/12"

... or about 1.3 degrees

.... or about 20:1

But I could be mistaken

Cheers!

PenAffair · Feb 6, 2009

Let's face it. We all know all the answers for these things, but the people winning are the only ones who can get the format of the email correct, as the rest of us are being rejected since we can't put our details in the right boxes!

I reckon someone should write a web site to do IAP Contest entry validation, just like the HTML validators, then we'll all have a fair chance at being hit by the random number generator :biggrin:

Pen Maker · Feb 6, 2009

Pen Maker · Feb 6, 2009

We are off to a slow start on this one. Usually we can go from zero to rant in a few hours (or seconds).
