We at OzSTOC even contribute to the shortcut society :wink1
So here is the game.....I will post an initial known and accepted TLA (Three Letter Acronym) see its started already :nahnah and the first person to guess it correctly and have it confirmed by the original poster gets to post their own TLA for us to guess.
It could be an organization like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) it could be but not limited to Military, Medical or Automotive the list goes on.......but it must be an ACCEPTED acronym :-((( Lets see what we can learn :wink1
(If the original poster doesn't respond in a reasonable period of time one of the Mods will adjudicate :wink1)

And we have a WINNER !!
The WDH (Weight Distribution Hitch) has been around in the Caravan and Heavy trailer industry for many years, it's to counteract the downward weight of the trailer on the tow vehicle and re-correct the adverse affects on steering, braking and headlights etc.....many vehicles will now use Airbag suspension that is adjustable to correct ride height.

South Australian Railways?
Correct, and you're lucky that Alans1100 is not around at the moment as he would get it in a second.
The South Australian Railways was an icon of SA for one hundred years, and was one of the biggest employers and trainers in the state, and the SAR initials were seen and known everywhere. They had railway maintenance, and carriage & steam loco manufacturing plants all across SA, including Mile End, Islington, Peterborough and Tailem Bend, and built one of the biggest fleets of steam locos in the world. SAR was eventually absorbed into Australian National. Any South Aussie would know SAR, and most families would have had some member who worked for SAR some time in the family's history. Almost every shed in SA would have at least one tool stamped SAR (or BHP for that matter!!), probably obtained by shadowy means such as the “apprentice wage subsidization scheme”. Here's an example from my own shed. :grin

Are we able to put up some generic Aide memoirs instead of industry specific from the person tagged. I'm sure it will make the game more fun if we all are on a level playing field rather than using technical parameters that most of us have never heard of before.
I agree totally Sabie. Most industries have acronyms that would only be known to people in the trade, and are not likely to be known or in use by the general community.

It not that it's too hard Gadget but to obscure, it's not something the common person would ever use.We are not common people. OzSTOCers are unique. :grinIf WET which is Wine Equalisation Tax is too hard then try RDO which also comes from industry.
Most TLAs and FLAs are obscure, unless you've been filled in somewhere along the line. RPG from the gaming community means Real Powerful Gun but unless you've been told you wouldn't know. Same as FPS = First Person Shooter or in the video and film industry Frames Per Second.
I can't think of any TLAs that don't come from either Defence, Government or some industry/business. They purely exist as a form of shorthand to make life easier for people who work in that industry or business.
Even MPG comes from the automotive industry. KPH from government and the measurement industry.
For me I've worked in Defence, Government, Commercial sectors including aviation, pathology, metallurgy, concrete, cement plastics, paper and have come across heaps of TLAs and FLAs. Even some units of measurement are TLAs.
With HRC I expected with the breadth of membership in OzSTOC there would be metalurgists or NDI inspectorsor welders who would work it outn or have come across it before.
Because you picked out PSI, I figured WET wouldn't be too hard and with hints someone get it.
If it was too easy, then it would just come down to who is logged on and active the most and leave others out. Not everyone is logged in every day.

Reported as standing for Salvation Army Officer, after one of the Arnotts family.
apparently with some basis for belief
Does the "SAO" biscuit really stand for Salvation Army Officer?
Arguably Fact. When William Arnott died in 1901, his five sons inherited the business. They introduced the SAO biscuit in 1906 and it is understood they named it in honour of their brother Arthur Arnott, a Salvation Army Officer.
In 2006, Arnott's Biscuits commemorated the 100 year anniversary of SAO biscuits.

Cathode ray oscilloscope
Far too easy, and why did I think that you'd get it straight away?
We've found out from international suppliers, apparently Aussies are the only ones to call them cros. Every where else just calls them Oscilloscopes. :grin
With modern digital oscilloscopes there is no longer a cathode ray tube. Just a Linux or Windows or embedded operating system and firmware controlling hardware and displaying on LCD or LED touch screens. Some new ones go up to 100 GHz.
These are some of the best on the market.

The only thing I can find that might make sense is SDI to HDMI.
SDI = Serial Digital Interface
HDMI = High Definition Muktmedia Interface.
If that is it, well played Biggles, well played.

As an aside Biggles i have not read a courier mail for many years.
Putting it very kindly i would not wrap fish with it.I find the Sunday Mail worse.
I used to read the Australian a bit but now i get everything online - easier but not the same as reading a broadsheet.

I've worked with people who can program logic controllers. But no.
My Nana, Dad's Mum, drove her own Sulky from "The Risk" Homestead 12 miles north of Kyogle to Presbyterian Ladies College in Armidale and boarded there for "Finishing School". At the end of semesters she would drive the Sulky back to The Risk. A distance of 365 Km (227 miles)
But no that's not it either.

Reasonable Benefits Limit
Post by: Gadget on January 22, 2016, 05:26:36 AM
Us retirees think it's
Reasonable Benefits Limit
And you'd correct.
Quote
Tax Office definitions
Reasonable benefit limits (RBL)
RBL is the maximum amount of retirement and termination of employment benefits that a person can receive over their lifetime at concessional (reduced) tax rates.
Due to a number of legislative changes in relation to RBL, there are different types of RBLs that may apply including:
Flat dollar RBL
Transitional RBL
HAS based RBL
15 Feb 90 balance RBL
15 Aug 1989 RBL
Refer to each particular RBL definition for more information.
For each type of RBL there is a Lump Sum limit and a Pension limit and these limits are indexed annually (with the exception of 15 February 1990 and 15 August 1989 RBLs).
Refer to the definition 'Excessive RBL determination notice' for details about the taxation of benefits that exceed the taxpayer's RBL.
Over to you Señor.

And anyway, I live by the earth's rotation, and it was only 12:04 AM, not that other artificial number you see

He's correct, the registered name is SLSA, but it's generally known as SLA.

OK- It contains two of the words from Bound For Glory and Big F Gun
And F= Fat (adipose) so it's not "For"
"Bound Fat _ " doesn't make sense.
and we've tried Big Fat Gun.
Can't be "Bound Fat Glory" because they were both on the same guess
so Big Fat Glory
like that makes sense!!

If you want to get legalistic the rule states that only the "initial" TLA would be known and accepted. It therefore follows that it's open slather for any others.

Remington use to make a range of projectiles called PSP (Pointed Soft Point) thought they had been discontinued yonks ago :think1
Correct! Pointed Soft Point (PSP) bullets remain very popular for hunting thin skinned game, and for police anti-personnel, use but usually not for general military applications. They may also be referred to as Jacket Soft Point (JSP) depending upon subtleties of the bullet design. They are an expanding design of bullet which can retain better accuracy than hollow point (HP), and are better suited to hunting than Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) which transfer less energy to the target. There are many standard acronyms used for bullet design descriptions, and shooters will be fluent in this bullet language.

I didn't think it was all that obscure as Winchester have used the WRA on many of their products, and particularly on ammo headstamps.

The road was badly corrugated and the traveling at 20 to 30 km/h was shaking the vehicle too much. 50 to 60 was a bit better, but 80 to 100 was smoothest. This is however, very tiring as you have to be very much on the lookout for dips in the roadway and potholes full of bulldust.
The other vehicle traveling with me (Toyota Hiace trayback ute) managed to shake its mudguard off. A little later it hit a big bump in the Centre of the road hidden by the cloud of dust from a roadtrain heading north, launch all 4 Wheels into the air, land on all 4 Wheels biunce and then spit the chained down spare out of the tray, onto the road and into the bush. We recovered that & wired the mudguard back on.
Enough reminiscing, UHT.

"An improved identification system that employs a novel radio frequency (RF) transponder. The RF transponder comprises a plurality of integrated circuit transponder chips, an RF transmit antenna coupled to an RF output of each of the transponder chips, and a sensor coupled to each of the plurality of transponder chips. A sensor switch is coupled between each of the transponder chips and the RF transmit antenna. The plurality of transponder chips may be individually programmed with different information, or identical information except for one bit. A code reader is coupled to an RF receive antenna for processing data transmitted by the transponder. The transponder is used to transfer information to the code reader relating to an item to which the sensor or transponder is coupled and the condition of the sensor switch. Transmission is accomplished by way of an RF communications link using the RF transmit and receive antennas. The transponder and identification system may thus be used with any application requiring sensor switch information and/or multiple sets of data."

ATC and Firies are protected species.
Probably with a good reason.
But I'm sure the other 2600 help along the way.
If the Qld gummint did something a bit like rationalising the administration rather than attempting to make the unemployment figures look good by ballooning the Public Service, then we could make some headway with the economy.
The irony is, when govts do it, they give huge redundancies then rehire everyone on contracts.

Nailed it!

I think it's a very good thing for motorcyclists to belong to. $65 pa buys you insurance against the high costs that follow a debilitating spinal injury. Even if you never use it (and you'd hope not to, like any insurance), it's a worthy cause in that it supports those who do need it.
