Threads Definition and 97 Threads

CONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file for the DOS and OS/2 operating systems. It is a special ASCII text file that contains user-accessible setup or configuration directives evaluated by the operating system's DOS BIOS (typically residing in IBMBIO.COM or IO.SYS) during boot. CONFIG.SYS was introduced with DOS 2.0.

    Reusability of nuts and tapped holes + Choosing the right material

    In the section "8-3 Threaded fasteners" from Shigley's the following text can be seen: Replacing a nut is simple enough. However, replacing a tapped part or having to update the tapped hole with something like a helicoil could be more complicated. Would that recommendation from Shigley's apply...
