Isakovic Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hello all, I was wondering what does Unitronics company logo represent? Those 4 lines, I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isakovic Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Slow saturday in the office. Waiting for electricians to finish, so I'm just staring at the boxes and logo caught my eye. 2 hours ago, Ausman said: So....Isak....you've run out of things to do? 😀 As your countryman once said.

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted March 2, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 We could always make this a little competition, with people throwing in their theories. 🧐 Those who actually know could wait a week and then tell us. No cheating, Joe T! So here's my first 2 ....."Unifying different control lines into one coherent stream?" "I can't wait for the clock to get to the white zone so I can have a break." cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted March 3, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 It's a hand that's lost its thumb because it didn't have a Unitronics control system for some dangerous equipment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this old M210 on ebay- The M210 was obsolete by the time I started selling the product in 2000. So my guess is "The four explosive vector forces required to destroy the Earth." Joe T.

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted March 3, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Joe, I really do think there is a bit of a nostalgic character wanting to jump out of your body, along with a healthy dose of sci-fi related stuff. Going to see the latest Star Wars episode must be an exciting time for your family! cheers, Aus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exceptionally embarassing when I only recall it much later after the person's long gone out of view. It's there, but the indexing system has gone astray. But I remember the faces of gazillions of people, remember the instance of that bootlace pin falling off a wire during crimping, remember that intricate bit of that wiring diagram, how that complex bit of machinery goes together etc. All that useless stuff that really is truly irrelevant (and can mostly be found again in a manual) seems to stick, but recalling a name when I see the face again? Uhhhhmmmmm.....I know you fairly well but can't remember the name. I put it down to having to meet so many new faces during my work. My wife astounds me in her name recall abilities, and she often tells me to do word association, but this doesn't work either!

I am absolutely positive that the words 'I do' automatically turns that 'whatzhisname' part of the male brain into a vestigial organ. On the female end, 'I do' enhances not only name recall, but the ability to remember the entire family calendar and todo list. As far as remembering useless (and occasional useful) fact, it's because we predate 'Google is your friend'. We are all accustomed to having to actually remember stuff. We're dinosaurs...

Then when they answer, I say; No, I knew that, I meant your last name. Now you have both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
