I have recently been asked to join the crew at Hard Air Magazine as Technical Editor.... I will be writing monthly articles, and the first is now online here....
https://hardairmagazine.com/ham-columns/airgun-technical/ham-airgun-technical-how-pcp-airguns-work/
The plan is to write my articles as a short series with a common theme or starting point.... I hope you enjoy them.... I will admit to a selfish motive, the compensation will eventually go towards purchase of a LabRadar for my retirement enjoyment....
Bob

Congratulations! Some of us have been wishing for some time that your work would be compiled in a printed format. Well, here we go getting closer to that! Good article, by the way. Also passed on the link to others.
