Autoblog visits the Audi R8 factory in Neckarsulm, Germany | Hex Washer Head Screw

One morning at 3:10 a.m., after hours spent measuring for fasteners for a metal roof, local farmer Howard Moeggenborg awoke with an idea.

The fly in the KTM’s ointment is that once the 250SX peaks at 8200 rpm, it falls off quickly. And by the time the orange bike gets to the Yamaha’s 8800 rpm peak, the YZ250 is actually 4.7 horsepower more powerful. The lack of top-end power and over-rev are the hardest things for a rider to adapt to on the KTM 250SX—that and the really strong surge off the bottom.

“Some production will shift back, although on a small scale,” predicts Carolyn Zulandt, an analyst at the Freedonia Group Inc. “A number of factors are supporting this[trend], including rising production costs abroad, ongoing safety concerns about toys produced in China, support for local industry, and demand for environmentally friendly toys.

And for what it’s worth, I modeled my own X-Rail connectors and endcaps by snagging a reference model for the rail itself and using it as a cutting tool. For an endcap, you’d then scale it by about 4% bigger in the necessary two dimensions so that it will fit on the end. For a connector, you’d then scale it down by about 7% so that it will fit inside the groove. After scaling, you can then using the bolt-cutting method I mentioned before to add your own anchor bolts.

For the first few millennia of advanced human civilization, nails or bindings were the main method of connecting materials together. By the time of the High Renaissance, screws were generally recognized as an effective means of joinery, it was not until production of these highly machined pieces of hardware become easier with advances of the industrial age that they became common. By the late 18th Century, however, screws were ascendant.

The line and tune came to mind when I saw the beautiful images that Imran Mir, who was part of the creative team, had shot, and they served as a source of inspiration; the first scene was that of a door opening and as the light enters the room, Dawn slides in.

2016: This was the year of the big change for the Husky. Every piece of the 2015 engine was re-engineered for 2016. The clutch shaft and crankshaft were moved up for a more compact package. Engine weight was reduced by 4 pounds. It had a new cylinder, piston, head, crankshaft and six-speed transmission. The new frame had 20-percent-greater torsional rigidity and 30-percent less longitudinal stiffness. The head angle was steepened by 0.4mm, and the wheelbase was shortened by 10mm. The triple clamps were rubber-mounted, although they still held WP 4CS forks. The 2016 TC125 was a vastly improved bike. But, the 4CS forks and choked-up airbox were both Debbie Downers.

It’s a personal project to build a motorized model of Curiosity Mars rover, not part of a competition. Its name is Sawppy the rover and there’s a Hackaday.io project page for more information.

The fact is that post-privatisation, Pakistani banks had a readymade critical mass of low-cost deposits across the length and breadth of the country, as well as a branch network that served as an example of market potential, is forgotten.

This level of reach is considered impossible in today’s world, and at that time, led to transformative growth in consumer culture and advertising spending. Aslam Azhar should be crowned the father of mass advertising in Pakistan.
