Why does the micrometer have a second knurled segment

This is now getting silly and VERY unhelpful.

Hi All,

Chris has had his original question answered succinctly and sensibly.

The later comments are innocent light hearted humour. I found them a lovely start to my day, almost making me laugh out loud. What is so wrong with that ?

The great advantage of a forum, is that if you don't like the direction a particular thread is taking, you can simply read a different thread.

I do sincerely hope that innocent humour and banter is not going to fall victim to censure as well.

Thank's for the laugh this morning guys.

ATB,

Daniel

You are right of course, but the OP got his answer in the first couple of replies and I am sure he will be able to see that this is just a bit of friendly banter. If not, and with all due respect he is probably asking the wrong people.

When I worked in Africa the workshop temperature was average 120F and the inspection room was 70F! We used to have a conversion chart so we could make the tolerances on the drawings. Assembly could be a nightmare when fitting bronze bushes into steel!

Not wishing to be controversial, but is this a serious question?

I have suggested useful reading material to Chris on more than one occasion, he has not responded.

Book 6 in the Workshop Practice series, Measuring and Marking Materials, by Ivan Law, would answer this question too.

The preferred option appears to be to bombard the forum with questions instead.

Thanks MadMike, I will endeavor to make all future posts at your elevated level.

Chris,

With the greatest respect I have followed many of your question posts and the answers which seem to be perfectly valid. However the way your responses read to me seem to dispute most suggestions as not appropriate according to your answers already gained from your valued advisor. I am sure you do not really intend to come across as I interpret your responses and there is nothing wrong with questioning to properly evaluate a method or process but the way you do this perhaps does not encourage people to respond?

Paul.

Paul many times I have asked a question which has been answered by suggesting another method. OK I get this is well intentioned opinion but if its not answering my question it is not helpful, I am polite but move on. To me a forum is like a pub some nice people and some you would rather avoid. Just look at the responses to this post the humour is perfectly acceptable but other comments not so. Frankly I see no escuse for rudeness but online forums seem to give cover to the coward who uses rudesness from a distance and huddles together with those of similar disposition. Most here are fine those that spoil for a fight don't bother answering my posts…it really won't bother me.

I'm not sure if this was pointed at me or not?

[DanielParticipant @daniel]

I don't think so, David

Hi Vintage,

Are you sure you're replying to the right thread ?

ATB?

I don't think so, David

Thanks Daniel, but I was rather hoping the OP would answer the question

DS1, based on his cryptic comment previously, perhaps the OP may no longer see your question(s) ?

Possibly, who knows?! – the OP has never responded to any of my posts directly, when I was trying to help.

If you are suggesting he may have blocked me, fine, his choice, I don't have a problem with that
