A video that covers a multitude of washer types, where to use them and why. Rather well done.



Cheers,
Tom

Great video!

I am constantly amazed at mechanical engineering. The guys would specifically call for mounting studs that would shear off the bolts before destroying the main chamber in case of a catastrophic pump failure.

Those washers holding these down are likely in orbit as we never found them.
