Wussername Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Access would handle 5000ย records with ease, and would provide instant reports on specific parameters or a combination of parameters the latter comprising, on equal to, greater than, less than, in a matter of seconds, all menu driven. Together with sort facilities and mail sorts. Why over egg the pudding.

TheQ Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 How in the saint of woodies name does one vaccinate a woody? Take it by rail..... ย The Great Western Railway and probably the others, had carriage sheds to fumigate the Carriages... An entire carriage would be rolled in, all doors and windows open. They shut the door of the building. and let loose something that would be an illegal chemical today.. .. With horse hair seating and all natural cloths / wood etc.. you needed to fumigate the carriages to stop them being eaten by insects.. Don't know if there are any such buildings still in use... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
