Freeze Plugs

[atf@scammell.ecos.tne.oz.au (Arthur Freeman )]

Dear All,

Just as I thought I was getting a hang of the 'Merkun jargon on all these, 
someone has to throw in a "Freeze Plug".

>From the discussion, and the descriptions I guess this is what was called in
the UK, a Welch Plug (Spelling?).

For a minute I was going to describe the Welch plug as a spring steel
insert for the block, about the size of a penny - but then the 'Merkun penny
is a different size as well!.

C'est la vie!
