[Rhodes22-list] Help for Stan???

Thanks Ed,

Just wanted to get the facts right since a concern about the facts seemed to 
be blurring the logic of  the solution to my "Lament" presentation.


What is wrong with slack in stays that are off duty on that tack - it is 
just the nature of the beast - it is also a good opportunity to take out 
excessive slack by hand.  I like to point out to my crew that when they are 
gluing or screwing two parts together and using a clamp to hold the work, 
they should not tighten clamps beyond the point of doing what they wanted 
the clamps to do in the first place.  I am not interested in their showing 
me how strong they are by fracturing the parts with over clamping.  If I 
can't get through with a verbal explanation I ask the laggard to raise one 
foot slightly above the floor so I can show the volunteer foot the effort 
required just to bring it back in contact with the floor - once this weight 
does its job of getting the foot back to the floor level and I announce 
mission accomplished, I apply additional pressure until they hear the 
cracking of bones.  They get the point but we end up with a lot of limping 
workers.  That will teach you to get me involved in these logical 
discussions.
