Mystery Package

does it smell like gunpowder and broken light bulbs?

Could it be a camera iris motor?

Took it out of its sealed clear envelope, and it is indeed an iris motor _and_ lens assembly.

Who sent it? ...Jim Thompson

The USPS website says that is not a valid zip code.

Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to 
have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

The return address says 44261, but I don't recognize the name, so I haven't mentioned it. The postage cancellation says 44260.

But what would USPS know... they still have all the zip codes screwed up around here... issued invalid numbers, then withdrew them and issued new numbers. I had a check addressed to me returned by the USPS saying no such address :-) ...Jim Thompson

I believe that the following article is relevant. If I recall correctly that Jim is filtering out most posts which come through Google Groups, he may not have been aware that he was being gifted.

And, if I recall correctly that he also filters out almost all posts from .ORG domains, he may not see this answer. Oh well.

It's like a Bodington, with the nitrogen foamy gadget, but a bit smoother.

What is the nitrogen gadget?

It's a plastic thing in the bottom of the can. The beer is pressurized with nitrogen, and it foams when you open it. That's where canned Guinness gets its foam, same gadget.

OK, it's a widget, not a gadget.

The newest ones are a plastic cylinder attached to the bottom of the can. It seems to be just a small volume with tiny access holes.

Would someone tell Jim that Steve Roberts sent him the camera lens. I just scrapped a 400$ dome camera for lack of V-sync. I figured that he might like to see a lens servo up close. It was a no brainer to drop it into a box.

44261 is Suffield, Ohio, Which became 44260 after a edict from the post office to stop using 44261 when USPTO closed our tiny office and consolidated it with nearby Mogadore.

Evidently my email does not make it through his spam traps any more. He cant see Gmail....

So please relay this in SED some one....

Steve

This should do the trick.

I recall someone stating they sent it. perhaps they are in your killfie?
