But creativity is quickly stifled by connector selection, as the vast majority of connectors in the catalog are for 90-degree joints of one flavor or another. Angled connectors are in the minority, and usually limited to a few angles like 30, 45, and 60 degrees. There isn’t enough sales volume to justify making connectors with angles that only a few people would ever use. This is where our 3D printer re-enters the picture, as a factory for low volume niche parts.

The rise of consumer banking fed an almost insatiable urge among Pakistanis for brands in terms of automobiles (including Honda, Toyota and Suzuki), consumer durables and electronic appliances such as Haier, Orient, Pel, Super General and Waves. With the opening of the economy and the entry of foreign brands, banks capitalised on both, secured and unsecured lending with a ballooning portfolio of credit cards, personal loans, auto-financing and even mortgages.

We’ve made it through another year of Shondaland and we’re waiting (impatiently) for the return of TGIT in 2018. Here, we look back on some of the biggest twists this year from "Grey’s Anatomy," "Scandal" and "How to Get Away With Murder."

While lock washers and cotter pins might be the easiest way to hold a fastener in place, nothing beats the effectiveness of safety wire. If you know how to properly install it, safety wire (also called lock wire) loops through holes drilled in the bolt heads or nuts and literally ties the fasteners together so they cannot loosen up.

In those days, the big players were foreign agencies such as D.J. Keymer, Grant Advertising, JWT, Stronach Advertising and Crawford Advertising. After Partition, there were hardly any trained professionals, except for those who came from India.

Herrmann says that Line 10 profiles are used when heavy loads need to be supported but space is limited. These extrusions accommodate tensile loading of up to 7,000 newtons per screw connection. Line 12 is the strongest profile, with the ability to accommodate extraction forces of up to 10,000 newtons per connection. Also available are specialty profiles without grooves that are used as edge protection or grip rails.

The internal threads of nuts don’t lend themselves to rolling, so most mass-produced nuts are formed with a hot forging process. Hot slugs of metal are struck by dies that form the head profile and punch the center hole. Later, the cooled blanks are sent to a tapping machine which cuts the internal threads using a tap.
