I haven't looked on the Interent but I'd check under oilseeds, corn oil, rape seed (canola), linseed (flaxseed), or sunflower presses. BTW does it have to be a cool press? For some uses the oil cannot be heated during the pressing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

I'll type this really, really slowly...
[first removing the hobby group list though] A force of 1000 lbs applied to a die with a 1/7 sq inch cross section exerts a pressure of 7000 psi.

Gentlemen........... Since many of you have obviously earned scientific credentials and since you seem to have some familiarity with computer protocol, would it be too much to politely request that you refrain from posting in multiple newsgroups? Many of your remarks are directed at your friends and acquaintenances in your usual haunts. I know this was originally the "fault" of the OP, but it need not continue endlessly. Please be assured I am aware of the options of ignoring the thread or taking up knitting. But this mindless blather about "When is a pound a pound?" is getting tiresome. Write something interesting once in a while. Sorry - rant mode off. Isn't the weather nice? - or maybe you're in Michigan. . . Rich P.S. Just to **** everyone off equally - it is spelled "hydraulic". |
