SCULPTURE - FOUND TECHNOLOGY

Tony has fixed my Bose radio/cd player by replacing the laser head. The broken head is such an intricate little thing (which seems worth so much more than the c£15 it cost) that I was loathe to throw it away. 

By chance I saw a shaft bearing thrown into the waste skip. It is a fine piece of precision engineering, using high grade steels and having ball bearings. The balls of ball bearings are precision items. Spinning and taking the load as they do, they have to be very accurately made. But their brilliance of manufacture is rarely acknowledged.

So here they are together, a little poem to high technology.

Happy days.
