If a six-axis robot will be used to install friction-drilling fasteners, engineers should choose a model that can hold up to the forces involved. Photo courtesy Weber Screwdriving Systems Inc.

Yeah, it was a completely branded show, but no one sang about Coke or refreshment or anything lame like that. The brand did not interfere with the content or its purpose. Coke merely provided a platform for artists to work together to create music that appealed to the young and older generations of our music-loving nation. They saw an opportunity to leverage music commercially in a way that no one had done before. More importantly, they did it tastefully.

That sealant might hold for 25 or 30 years up there, or at least as long as it needs to before the roof is re-shingled in a decade, but it’s ugly, and it probably voids the roofers’ warranty. You don’t want your home’s watertight integrity to be beholden to that crappy craftsmanship (crapsmanship?), do ya?

These announcements require two things: art direction and copywriting. Both are found in equal measure in the nascent days of Pakistani advertising. Going through the archives, what strikes me is that while we have moved forward with the art direction – thanks to advances in technology – the ability to convey a concept engagingly or tell a story in a few words, may perhaps be a thing of the past.

Now that all this history is out of the way, we can make a few determinations. If the Philips screw cams out when too much torque is applied, we need a Phillips screw driver with a precisely ground head and sharp geometry to bite into the metal. Another example determination we can make is that not all plus shaped screws are Philips screws. They do have pretty easy markings though, for example, most of the stripped out screws on an unfortunate piece of test equipment I tried to take apart had a little X intersecting the head pattern. This X indicated that the screws were in fact Posidriv screws, and no amount of cursing would make them properly compatible with a #2 Philips. Flat head screws are to be used for decoration. Hex headed machine screws are to be used with a ball headed driver when torque is low and flat headed driver when torque is high. I won’t go on and on, but I guess I’m making a case for doing research on the fastener. It tells you a lot.

Already opening up as one of the major sources of revenue generation to bring the vision of young filmmakers to life, brands are beginning to see films as a space through which to connect with audiences; something that goes beyond simply ‘sponsoring’ the screening of the latest Bollywood/Hollywood summer flick, but which will actually allow them to engage with audiences in a real and captivating way; in fact, an opportunity to align their brand’s values within a larger context. In short, this becomes a case not of what you say, but how you say it!

• Electronic stud finders labeled “multipurpose” are designed to detect additional materials within the walls, such as live electrical wires and plastic pipes so that you don’t nail or cut into anything that might be problematic.

On the other hand, KTM was either braver or stupider, but they stuck with bad WP coil-spring forks. The WP-built 4CS fork was just a place-saver at KTM. KTM was willing to suffer the slings and arrows of critics while waiting for the AER air fork to come online. It took a year longer than they hoped, but when it came out, it reinvigorated the air fork’s reputation. The AER fork proved that an air fork could be 3 pounds lighter, uncomplicated to live with and excellent for a wide range of riders.

Given the lack of entertainment options (and electricity), Pakistanis are turning to their electronic devices to connect with others and enjoy the things they like best. Whether it is a chat show, music specials or interactive game shows, audiences are involved and engaged. Radio’s greatest asset is its reach; it has become a built-in feature in people’s lives.

Yea, that’s slightly outside our budget, so instead we downloaded a decibel-reading app on our iPhone and tried to reproduce the same speed and conditions for this “test.” Like we said, it’s not scientific, but we’re off-roaders, not scientists.

The earliest example of international standardization, however, did not include Britain or the United States. Despite being founded in New York, the International Federation of the National Standardizing Association (known as ISA and established in 1926) was a mostly continental Europe body. (America and Britain’s reliance on imperial measurements did not make membership a particularly sensible option for either.) ISA began to lay the groundwork for standards across mechanical engineering out of its Swiss headquarters, but was brought to a crashing halt by the Second World War. In 1942, it was mothballed.
