No, but after 15 years of translating out of a book, I can read it, as long as it has to do with Engineering drawings. 😆

Sorry not conversational German. 😉

Just for you, Bardock, I pulled the following off this drawing I was working on:

Linksausführung spiegelbildlich: Pos.II,IV
Rechtsausführung gezeichnet: Pos.I,III

Schrauben M8 handfest anziehen !

Linksausführung spiegelbildlich: Pos.II,IV = same as the other side.

Rechtsausführung gezeichnet: Pos.I,III = something to do with quality of surface.

Schrauben M8 handfest anziehen ! = Attenchan M8 fastener is self locking.

That would be my guess.

For the most part...YES!

OH..........how wonderful........Reading directions in German.....lol

I'm not an engineer......so, I guess I'll leave........though I know some, does that count?......

That sounds like a lot of fun....

I don't even know what "ausführung" means....

It's supposed to be something like, "Left-hand Side."

Isn't that last part something about fully locking the M8 screws?

Hmmm, maybe not..surely a good German Engineer would put the torque requirement instead! nerd

How sad is this conversation? 😮

I the last bit is about locking the screws "handfest" which meansas strong as possible with the hand...I suppose not to use a screwdriver or whatever....

Aaaah, hand-tighten only. 👆

Yes...you with your silly terms that make no sense at all....😮

Don't start me off on acronyms, I could post one a day for the next three years! 😱

Maybe we could post weekly updates about what projects we're working on. To quote mechmoggy, How sad is this conversation?

Today I accomplished adding variable lengths of a certain brush to a bill of materials so the factory wouldn't be confused about which lengths to cut when this special option is called out. 😱 Wow!

I'm waiting for a new antenna package from Germany. Just doing some busy work until it gets here. Once I get it, I will not see the light of day for a couple weeks. 😱

We could talk about GD&T, I never get to talk about that.

Go for it...I hear GD&T is a b!tch to do on UG, but I'm not sure about other CAD packages though.

Unfortunately, I can't talk about my work. 🙁

Yes, I'm limited on what I can talk about also, but I'll just kill of you guys after we get done. 😆

What do you guys think of the reactor they're building in France for research into fusion power? The "ITER magnetic confinement facility"

http://www.theengineer.co.uk/Articles/294265/Meeting+of+minds.htm

They say it's the last step before a fusion power station could be designed. Boy, I'd love to work on something like that. 😎

I am a mechanical designer, that means I fix all the mistakes that the Engineers make. 😆 jk

I'm not an Engineer, but I build parts in the computer (SolidWorks) and assemble them to see if they fit.

I am trained in Dimensioning and Tolerancing ASME Y14.5M-1994 by Dr. Don Shepherd.

That's cool, Shak. I'm a certified automotive technician.

I don't do repairs though (even thought I can), I install performance parts.

Cool.

You got me there, I'm no good with cars. I've tried, but I don't have the nack.

A priest, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We've been waiting 15 minutes!"

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golfers!"

The priest said, "Here comes the greens keeper, let's ask him."

He said, "Hello, George! What's wrong with the group ahead of us?
They're rather slow aren't they?"

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group fell silent for a moment.

The priest said, “That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist
colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"
