More often than not the culprit is either compressible material in the joint (e.g. paint, plastic or dirt) or insufficient torque (which may require a higher grade bolt to improve upon), however there’s many odd reasons. Interestingly, the solutions are often counter intuitive, e.g. going down a bolt size is sometimes the answer!

From your travel speed and gravity, you can calculate the potential energy gained in the lift and hence the motor power. Don’t forget friction though as it may dominate unless you use a thread profile that is actually designed for this purpose, and the threads must be properly lubricated.

Tri-Wing screws are present in many electronics applications, like video game consoles and cellular phones. They are a three-pronged groove connected at the center of the screw head.

In mid-19th-century United States, this became especially clear as railroads began to stripe across the country for the first time. Each place used its own measure to determine the space between the rails on the track. Some track gauge measurements were narrow—in parts of Maine, just two feet wide. Other places, like New York State, favored a gauge of up to six feet. If everybody remained in their “area,” this didn’t represent an especial problem. But increasingly, people, and goods, needed to be moved great distances, from one place to the next. Usually, railways resorted to a break of gauge, where everything and everyone would trundle off one train operating on one gauge, and onto the next train which operated on a different gauge. But this was an expensive, time-consuming solution and, as trade between the Midwest and the East mushroomed after the Civil War, it became a nuisance for trading companies.

He graduated from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, in 1957. He initially moved to New York and then Phoenix, where he worked in advertising for three years. He later left for Los Angeles, where he wrote his first novel during off-hours. The acclaimed "Saturday" was published in 1965. 

Again, Great Britain wins with sheer wonkiness. Did you know that until 1960 or so the metric system was not fully standardized? I get calls all the time from people asking “what thread is this?” Plus, fifty year old bikes often have substituted bolts that changes everything. This little gadget measures the number of threads per inch so I can select the correct part. Very early Japanese bikes had metric diameter bolts with threads still measured in TPI (Threads Per Inch). The reason is unknown, but probably involves World War II. Italy is also entertaining with metric hardware. A 1974 Ducati project I have is currently stalled while I source 14MM bolts with 30 threads per centimeter. Why? It only holds the foot peg, that’s all. Do I drill out an irreplaceable part and change to an available thread, or search for the unobtainable originals? A thread pitch gauge reveals all these little factory secrets. It also works for scratching the itch on the back of your neck.

Avi Gitler: I don’t consider myself as the best representative for the cause. But I guess that is the power of the project. I’m obviously not a good reference point because I am doing the project the whole freaking day. But I was not a birder, I am learning slowly and I now have binoculars and a couple of field guides, the Audubon bird app, and an online guide to bird-watching. I bet you, I may be the first person in human history to get into birding from street art.

The Green Frame system combines the benefits of pipe, with the growing acceptance of aluminum as a viable structural material, claims Kurt Greissinger, vice president of Lean Factory America LLC. He says that high-quality anodized aluminum pipe provides the same strength capacity as steel pipe with 40 percent less weight, further enhancing the flexibility of built structures.

Ecosyn-MRX screws are made from a martensitic, hardened and tempered chrome steel with higher resistance to corrosion (comparable to A2 grade stainless steel). The fastener can be used on aluminum sheet metal and rust-resistant steel sheet metal.

Brand teams are forcing agencies to think short-term. Because of the financial crunch, agencies hire to fill their ranks with people with short-term objectives rather than a long-term vision. Ask yourself what is the key differentiation between your agency and any other in Pakistan?
