View Full Version : Perfect the First Time?

Can you think of anything that was so perfect, it has never been improved upon?
Sure, certain elements of the human anatomy are perfect. ;)
I'm asking about man made things. It could be a component of something else, it could be something food related just to toss up ideas etc. Anything that is not likely to ever be bettered.
I hope GN7 sees this thread. :D

I once heard the Stanley 10-099 boxcutter is perfect, teams of students at MIT have tried to improve it but the original design is still the mainstay.

They can all be RIGHT the first time can't they... Different years, different cars (slightly in the case of 65/66)... :) All are my faves if they are fastback - black - red interior - four speed cars - V8

Any of the fastbacks, yes... A very good friend of mine in the mid 80's got a great deal on a 70 Boss 302, all original but thrashed. We spent a year restoring it, and it came out very nice. Even though it wasn't a "fastback" car, I fell in love with the stang.. It ended up on the cover of one of the magazines.. With me driving it.. Can't remember which one.. Car and driver I think, maybe..

The Colt 1911 has a flaw. The trigger lock safety could be better placed.

this is probably the best example I know of.
Thread root diameter and angle of the thread cut(not the pitch) hasn't changed in 150 plus years. All threads, whether metric, Whitworth, or SAE, course and fine, all follow the same basic engineering that was layout almost 2 centuries ago, and it hasn't been improved upon. Methods to from threads have improved, but the geometry has remained the same.
Even the thread pitch(threads per inch) is very similar throughout the world. They may call it threads per millimeter, but the count is extremely close. You can duplicate most metric threads on a American made lath using preset thread settings.
Westernearo may be able clarify that. But this has remain unchanged pretty much since the day one.


A nut from the civil war will thread on a bolt made today.

Nice job Bob. The only thing I would change about what you said is metric threads aren't designated by threads per millimeter per say. Metric thread pitch is a crest to crest measurement. So a 13mm x 2.0 means the threads are spaced 2.0mm apart. Multiply 2.0 by .03937 is .0787", so your feed rate on a lathe would be .0787.

How about 2.0 mm divided by 25.4 = .07874 or 25.4 X .07874 = 2mm.


Math Question: What is the square root of "69"??? Eight (Ate) Something... 8.3066

Yep, same thing. Some use divide by 25.4 and some use multiply by .03937.
Fixed my earlier post. For some reason I put .75 x .03937, was supposed to be 2.0. :oops:
