As Fire Risk Explodes Across the West, an Oregon City Finds a — Water Deeply | Metric Wood Screws

In an article published in Dawn in the eighties, Javed Jabbar pointed out that although “advertising in the cinema existed before the seventies, the advent of television stimulated the birth and growth of entirely new talent aiming to specialise in the creation of TV film commercials.”

We (professional mechanics) often have The Nice Set, a cheaper set, and then the “buy at Harbor Freight specifically to mod/hack/destroy” set. (Or in my case, about a half dozen sets). Ratcheting screwdrivers are a godsend, especially offset bar-handled min-drivers for tight quarters. T-handle ratcheting drivers are also very useful, especially when working in “off-grid” locations such as the middle of a long snowboard run and adjusting your friend’s bindings on the board he rented. Then of course there’s Spinner screwdrivers (Klein all the way!)- when working with conduit runs or regular 120/240/277 voltage runs, you NEED these or you will have dead forearms. Side note: next time you are at a salvage yard and somebody asks for a screw-driver, hand them a spinner. Hilarity ensues as they stare at it.

Punch broaching performs in applications where rotary broaching may not be suitable. Keyways, hexagons, Torx-style six lobes, serrations, splines, and squares are machined using partial-form broach tools and indexing either the tool or the workpiece to reduce cutting pressure. Indexable punch broach holders aid the process and provide high-repeatability on CNC lathes, milling machines, and presses.

Fatigue failures typically occur within a couple of threads, where the bolt engages into the internal thread. Failure is then reached due to the high stress gradient within the region.

For the most part, advertising agencies had to resort to an approach that boiled down to saying: ‘Please buy the product.’ Although a few advertising professionals did find ways to overcome this obstacle, many creative people became increasingly frustrated as they had no choice but stifle their creativity.

Workers loaded the rivet into a mandrel, which was then installed in a special rivet gun. However, the gun required frequent maintenance, and the supplier would often take several weeks to repair and return the gun. Another negative was each rivet cost 11 cents.

Part of the reason of the decline is attributed to the fact that PTV did not keep up with changing times in terms of programming and could not compete with the glossier dramas and sensationalist news programmes that defined the new generation of satellite channels.

Unless, of course, more people ‘get it’ and soon. In post-Brexit UK, we may have to turn our gardens over to allotments (a la WW2) anyway

Lycoming argued that the plaintiff’s claims were barred under impossibility conflict preemption because its FAA-approved type certificate precluded it from unilaterally changing the design and therefore it could not simultaneously comply with federal and state law where state law would require it to adopt a different design. In support of that position, Lycoming relied primarily on two Supreme Court cases, PLIVA, Inc. v. Mensing, 564 U.S. 604 (2011) and Mutual Pharmaceutical Co. v. Bartlett, 570 U.S. 472 (2013), involving generic drug manufacturers in which the Court found that federal law prohibited the generic manufacturer from altering the design or warnings for generic drugs due to federal law requirements that generic drug manufacturers use the same FDA-approved design and warning labels as the brand name manufacturer.

After all, we are blessed with not having to invent or reinvent anything; global trends, strategies, creative ideas and solutions are just one Google search away. It is only the will to change how we conduct business that appears to be lacking.

If you grew up in the seventies, eighties or even the early nineties, you could not have missed the Peek Freans Pied Piper. Far before its time, the brand positioned itself as a snack between meals – and not just a tea accompaniment, with the Pied Piper enticing us to a world of sweet and savoury biscuit treats.

The thread-forming zone consists of a tapered, noncircular point with thread-forming relief flats. The taper helps assemblers align the screw in the hole and decreases the amount of force and torque needed to start the thread-forming process. The flat areas in the thread provide relief during thread-forming, which reduces drive torque.
