A Scale Micrometer
Issue 86 (1996)
p.105
With his usual engineering panache, Sid Stubbs gets scale measurement down to a fine art (and then goes mad and makes it even finer!).

Large Diameter Turntable Well
Compendium 2 (1994)
p.55
4mm
Norman Dale, who submitted this article shortly before his death at the age of 78, needed a big turntable to cope with his 0-8-0 tender engines - so big, in fact, that the well was beyond is turning capacities. In typical style, he devised a hand-built well based on a small center made in his metal-working lathe and cut out using a simple radius cutter. We pass it on here for the wider benefit, with special thanks to Norman's good friend Sid Stubbs, for his help in preparing these notes, and to Monty Wells, for making the drawings from rough sketches.

No. 1 Shop: Insulated Efficiency
Issue 56 (1992)

No.1 Shop: High Efficiency Worm Drives
Issue 42 (1990)
p.591
4mm
Now in his 70th year, Sid Stubbs is - as indicated by the letters M.I.Mech.E after his name - a highly-qualified engineer as well as being a well-known and long-standing modeller of great repute, particularly in the Manchester area where he lives. Over an extraordinarily long modelling career, he has helped a large number of less-skilled modellers achieve good results, and here, using school-level maths and plain language, he explains the secrets of his own make of high-efficiency worm-driven gearboxes.
