It’s not essential, but i am intrigued…

 

I found an interesting term within some of the Fire systems literature that i have been reading  – see photo.

I tried “Googling” it to find out what it was, but had no joy, but had no success…

What do you think?! I had to ask everyone round the office is they knew what one was.

I think Chris W might be the best person to advise.

I see a new category starting up

    Ben

    If you googled that at the RSME, the MOD Police would have been at your desk within the hour. Definitely one for That’s Life for those of us old enough to remember the programme. Cheers.

    Easy mate:

    Boulons is the french for bolts.

    Contratuercas is the spanish for locknuts.

    Sex nuts are a type of fastener (nut) which have a barrel-shaped flange and protruding boss that is internally threaded. The boss sits within the components being fastened, and the flange provides the bearing surface. The sex bolt and accompanying machine screw sit flush on either side of the surfaces being fastened. It is normally chosen because of its low profile compared to other nuts. The sex bolt often has a built-in feature, such as a slot, to aid in tightening the fastener. Some sex bolts, more commonly known as architectural bolts, have knurled barrels to allow one-sided assembly. Binding posts are similar to architectural bolts in that they are designed to be assembled from one side, but they have teeth on the flanged surface to keep them fixed. They were originally designed for the printing industry to bind large catalogs together.

    Sex nuts is also that feeling I get I see your mom. She just drives me freakin’ crazy.

    Chris, how much time did you spend writing that? Shouldn’t you be fixing all the gas leaks in the North Sea?

    Also, what does that technical note say? Looks like, ‘Prudence – sexy sent equiped’! Do they smell good?

    p.s. If you find one of these, your first reaction must surely be to employ rule number 2!
