Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It looks vaguely familiar too... A bit like the firing orders you used to see on old Lamborghini rocker covers et. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yep, that's the firing order for a Lamborghini V12. That's for the Audi L539 version of the V12 mind, before 2011 it was 1-7-4-10-2-8-6-12-3-9-5-11. i am a very sad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Not to difficult to fathom if you copy and paste 1, 12, 4, 9, 2, 11, 6, 7, 3, 10, 5, 8. into Google https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=1%2C+12%2C+4%2C+9%2C+2%2C+11%2C+6%2C+7%2C+3%2C+10%2C+5%2C+8.&rlz=1C1ASRM_enGB703GB703&oq=1%2C+12%2C+4%2C+9%2C+2%2C+11%2C+6%2C+7%2C+3%2C+10%2C+5%2C+8.&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following pistonbroke's advice I just copy and pasted 4433618.75 into Scott (I mean Google) to get the answer. What will happen when most of the planet have forgotten everything and there is a breakdown in civilization and no Google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Having spent the best years of my life as a TV Eng I didn't need to Google " 4433618.75 Mhz as the "colour burst " frequency of a Phase Alternate Line colour decoder very briefly its the frequency generated in a PAL colour system to synchronise the receiver with the transmitted signal and decode the transmitted chroma signal . A full explanation would take several pages of advanced maths and a whole lot of typing , not much point unless you are a tv / radio geek in which case go Google https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
