Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.
Wringing may refer to: Wringing (gauge blocks) , the temporary attachment of gauge blocks to each other Wringer, a device that extracts liquid by action of twisting or squeezing (see: mangle (machine) )
Parallels that have a good surface tolerance can be lightly bonded together by sliding or rotating two parallels together, and the smooth surfaces allows a temporary molecular-attraction to take place - this is known as wringing and is also found with gauge blocks.
The stiction, however, in enhanced by the wringing, forcing the surfaces harder together. Zaereth 06:02, 23 October 2014 (UTC) The physics of wringing (to the extent that it is understood) is also discussed at gauge block > wringing. I added a cross-reference. — ¾-10 22:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC) Thanks. That is helpful.
Then there was “quiet quitting,” in which people chose to work as little as possible while still staying employed and probably applying for other positions. As 2025 approaches, a new trend ...
The previous description: "In use, the blocks are stacked end-to-end to make up the desired length." was much clearer. Without that description, the phrase: "...a small number of gauge blocks can be used to create accurate lengths within a wide range", can give a misleading impression. There should be an explicit statement that gauge blocks ...
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts slammed what he described as “dangerous” talk by some officials about ignoring federal court rulings, using an annual report weeks before President ...
Block loved tire shredding, but when the wheel speed is that far removed from the car's speed, control becomes a challenge. So, Audi's engineers added this faux-shifting mechanism.
