Hey everyone, I've been researching for some time now, and I can' find anything about how the actual lens blanks for prescription eyeglass lenses are made, I've looked on websites like this: http://glassescrafter.com/information/how-prescription-glasses-are-made.html but it only explains how the blank is used rather than manufactured... Are they mass produced and if so what machines and machining processes are used? I can't seem to find the information I need for the glasses frames themselves either. I need to know what machines are used for those too. Could anyone provide links please? Thanks in advance!

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
