- Gibbon1 6y agoOld crusty semi-retired engineer I knew said when he was young he liked designing things to close tolerances. But once he was old he found more pleasure in designing things that worked with really shitty tolerances.
- lb1lf 6y ago-I had a colleague once, fresh out of mechanical engineering at the local univerity college, who as his first project did a locking pawl for a winch drum. Tolerance? H7. The fitters threw a fit trying to make that happen.
