It would be a flat bit for wood.Once again, you haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.

Still, it doesn't take long for such characters to get tedious. I wish Don would stop cross-posting his threads to sci.electronics.design - that group is already wasted for topical threads by people like him (though it can still be interesting sometimes for the politics).

I refer to the set of psychological maladies sported by assholes like this as "Zimmerman Complex". How does it feel to be on the same hayride as a murderer? You, nearly ALL pigs, and managers... there are few types that typically sport several of the problem maladies. Essentially, the world should have no place for you dishonorable, socially stigmatized fucktards. Instead, mankind gets screwed by your kind and your stupidity incessantly. How quaint.

So, one will see mixed use.Little, if any, of the hardware on ISS was designed prior to the early seventies", when you said NASA went metric. Another aerospace example is Boeing's rather new 787 - again, mostly standard sized parts.
