Great quote

Discussion on the Radio about engineering produced this great quote!

In theory, theory and practice are the same
In practice, theory and practice are not the same

Isn't that good! and soooooo true.

I think you can apply that to your suspension woes

[Moleman]

That is very true as I do a lot of prototype models at work & I'm regularly being told by the designer's in theory it should work.

Is it the aerospace industry you work in Colin?

[Moleman]

Yes mate. My cars has acquired a few aircraft quality parts over the years.

  Well if it acquires a few quality aircraft parts then we will have to watch out you don't take off Squadron Leader! 

There's a joke in there somewhere but you'll have to read the sentence carefully!!

No offence to any genuine bona fide experts out there in BKCC land!!

In theory nothing ever works as it is supposed only close to what it may have been designed to, at that point we redesignate it to do that job instead therefore meaning it has done 'A' job we may have possibly wanted to carry out at some time in the future.

Quoted by a young first year mechanical engineering student I spoke to about this subject today

[Iancider]

While we are all being wise Engineers....

It is often said that things were made to last years ago.

The truth is only the good ones survived.

[fletch_306]

[Iancider]

It is Fletch but a bit patched up and modified over time.
