  2. John Wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wrench

    John William Wrench, Jr. (October 13, 1911 – February 27, 2009) was an American mathematician who worked primarily in numerical analysis.He was a pioneer in using computers for mathematical calculations, and is noted for work done with Daniel Shanks to calculate the mathematical constant pi to 100,000 decimal places.

  3. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    For Morse taper-shank drill bits, the standard continues in 1/64 inch increments up to 1¾ inch, then 1/32 inch increments up to 2¼ inch, 1/16 inch increments up to 3 inches, 1/8 inch increments up to 3¼ inches, and a single 1/4 inch increment to 3½ inches. One aspect of this method of sizing is that the size increment between drill bits ...

  6. Tap and die - Wikipedia

    where is the tap drill size, is the major diameter of the tap (e.g., 3 ⁄ 8 in for a 3 ⁄ 8-16 tap), and / is the thread pitch (1 ⁄ 16 inch in the case of a 3 ⁄ 8-16 tap). For a 3 ⁄ 8-16 tap, the above formula would produce 5 ⁄ 16, which is the correct tap drill diameter. The above formula ultimately results in an approximate 75% thread.

    Thus it is today common to encounter a Whitworth hexagon which does not fit the nominally correct spanner and following the previous example, a more modern spanner may be marked 716 BS to indicate that they have a jaw size of 0.710 in and designed to take either the (later) 716 BSW or 716 BSF hexagon.

  8. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    Mesh data is usually stored using 32-bit single-precision floats for the vertices, however in some situations it is acceptable to reduce the precision to only 16-bit half-precision, requiring only half the storage at the expense of some precision. Mesh quantization can also be done with 8-bit or 16-bit fixed precision depending on the requirements.
