[simpits-tech] One more PC case question.........

[John Miguez]

Brien, Forgive me if I am wrong, sometimes my old age dementia kicks in
and I am not sure that I am lucid.  However, when I was studying
mechanical engineering way back in the last century, a bolt had external
threads and a nut,  inset or tapped hole had internal threads.

Has it changed?

One of my teachers this semester frequently lamented over the fact
(FACT!!!)
that our school, my very own beloved Michigan Tech, was graduating
engineers
(ENGINEERS!!!) who couldn't tell you if a bolt has internal or external
threads.... *sob* And trust me, it's not a school problem. They do the
best
with what they're given, but sometimes, well, they weren't given
much....
