 A Short Story for Engineers

A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes,
without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was
set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell
you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise
that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time.

Small variations in the environment (which can't be controlled in a
cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed
across the line so that customers all the way down to the supermarket
don't get pissed off and buy another product instead.

Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory
got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new
project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to
solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already
too stretched to take on any extra effort.

The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor
allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million)
later they had a fantastic solution - on time, on budget, high quality
and everyone in the project had a great time. They solved the problem by

Re: chain steering

Hi Barry, I misspelled L' Obeissante, and my reference book does not  
seem to have made it to the 'net yet.  Aircraft steering yokes are  
often chain-drive to improve on cable drives, which are sloppier and  
weaker.  Care must be taken to synchronize the chordal speed  
variations by using identical sprockets and an even number of chain  
links for a smooth action with minimal slop on reversing.  For non- 
linear action such as ackerman variations, a tensioner may be  
needed.  There are lots of examples of non-circular gears, and some  
of those can be adapted for chains.

I'm just glad to see it again!  We could talk about trailers vs  panniers 
for another round of comments!!!

Re: brake fluid

The list was quiet for the longest time until someone asked an innocent question about disc brakes, then it
lit up like a Christmas tree!

It's a good thing no one said anything about Ackermann steering...

Re: Mechanical disks

This ongoing exchange highlights some reasons for switching to cable  
actuated disks.  My old GTO does just fine with it's drum brakes,so that's  not 
an issue for me, and we have toured on our GTT fully loaded in the  Sierras 
(lots of long downhills) with the Avids.  Also, we have toured with  friends, 
in very hilly areas, who have the Avids on their ICE tandem.
    I may be proven wrong in the long run, but right now, I  lean in favor 
of cable actuated disks, at least for our tandem.

Also Magura was using mineral oil in their rim brakes dating back to  
the 1980's so they already had experience with seals for it before  
they started making disc brakes in the 1990's. Someone told me Magura  
and Shimano use mineral oil due to strict laws about toxics in  
consumer products in Germany and Japan but I don't have any  
verification of that.

Magura warns against using DOT brake fluid in their service manuals. For example see this:
http://www.magura.com/uploads/media/downloads/Magura_Scheibenbremsen_EN_2011-06-17_Web.pdf

Here is the relevant quote from it:

"Only use MAGURA ROYAL BLOOD to fill or top up MAGURA disc brakes – hence no oils from other makers, let
alone DOT brake fluid. These can damage the seals and lead to the brakes failing. Risk of accidents! Brakes
that have once been filled incorrectly, i.e. with DOT brake fluid, can- not be serviced any longer. They
must be replaced completely. Risk of accidents!"

Be advised also that residents of countries in which REAL Citroens are sold 
can use LHM - Citroen hydraulic fluid - which costs less for a litre than 
Magura charges for a thimble-full.

chain help for GS GTE

I wanted to buy more chain to lengthen my chain on the GTE but is says SRAM pc-40 and seems that is not made
anymore. I have been told it may be a single speed chain and could use any single speed chain to lengthen it
and I have been told it is probably an 8 sp chain. Sooooooooo. I still don't know what chain to buy to add to it
so some longer legs can pedal the trike. It has a Rohloff hub and Schlumph Mountain drive if that helps any.
Is there a chain I can just add to it or do I have to buy all new chain. ???
