mixers

A concrete mixer (often colloquially called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works, portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.
The concrete mixer was invented by Columbus, Ohio industrialist Gebhardt Jaeger.

    Non thermostatic shower mixers.

    Do all thermostatic showers have a high temperature limit say 40C or so as I notice that all Spanish Hotels have no limits, one can get scalding hot water from them at max settings or are they simply non thermostic?, They seem to give very consistent temperatures at any intermediate setting. If...
