Talk:Lorica squamata

message: What is the basis for the claim:
:Much has been written about scale armour’s supposed vulnerability to an upward thrust, but this is probably greatly exaggerated.
The "greatly exaggerated"  idea seems to me to be obviously true; if the lorica in our photograph was mounted on cloth, it would clearly offer no protection whatsoever against upward thrusts since the only connection between rows which might hinder a blade from sliding between them, is the cloth backing. -- Securiger 03:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. If you'd move the tip of a sharp implement upwards with some speed, it would slip over a scale, then below the scale above, and through the fabric. Shinobu 15:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

text: All this about immunity to spear thrusts is all very well, but we were discussing whether or not it is vulnerable to upthrusts. As for Romans adopting a tactic to minimise that vulnerability: if that is correct, then it actually proves the point since they would not adopt the tactic unless the threat existed. As for linothorax: I don't believe there is any evidence the subarmalis was linothorax, which had generally gone out of use by around 400 BC; and was apparently quite stiff (completely obviating the advantages of flexible scale armour.) Further, it is difficult to suggest that a hypothetical subarmalis of linothorax would be "incredibly effective" when it remains a matter of considerable controversy as to exactly what linothorax was! Certainly, in the event that the linothorax was incredibly effective against a sword tip which had slipped past the scales, it is difficult then to see what point there was to adding the scales. Your last point -- did the Romans worry about it, i.e. are there preserved discussions in their writings -- is however a good one. Can we find any such writings, and if not, can we find the origin of this discussion? -- Securiger 19:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Set screw

message: I am looking for information on the uses for the many different types of set screw points. Cone Point, Cup Point, Knurled Cup Point, Flat Point, Oval Point, dog point and half dog point, What are the advantages to each and how each should be applied, ie how tight they should be, should one use a thread locking compound?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.253.245.126 (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A dog point is a smooth extension to the shank of the grub screw.  It is designed to allow that portion to rotate like an axle.  A half dog is just a shorter tip extension.  The article describes some of the other types.  Cone or pointed tips allow some penetration of the material it is screwed into.  Threadlock is commonly used to secure a grub screw because grub screws don't have a head or nut to provide any clamping force.  94.193.18.88 (talk) 12:02, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Worm screw 

message: Note that in some places (especially many American on-line glossaries of fasteners) "set screw" is thought of only in terms of a screw with no head that in other regions would normally be called a grub screw, while in New Zealand (and, I think, England and Australia) a set screw is almost exclusively thought of as a fastener with a (hex) head but without a shank... something that would probably always be called a Tap Bolt in American situations.

message: Hi, In the introduction, the first paragraph, "A set screw is normally used without a nut (which distinguishes it from a bolt), ...". No problem.
Then in the third paragraph, "In the UK, the term "set screw" or "setscrew" refers simply to a bolt which is fully threaded, ...". No nut is involved. Glaringly inconsistent with the earlier sentence. Is there an argument against "... a screw which is fully threaded, ..."?  Thanks, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 17:11, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Irish cabinets since 1919

message: Technically the Provisional Government of Collins was the government of Southern Ireland, as created in the Government of Ireland Act, 1920. To maintain British constitutional theory, it was deemed necessary in the Treaty negotiations to use the governmental institutions in the GoI Act as in British eyes they were the only valid instruments of government. Thus Collins was nominated for appointment by the House of Commons of Southern Ireland (it having also ratified the Treaty at a meeting in the Mansion House) and then formally appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to head His Majesty's Government. The claims of two rival systems were kept going by the ability of each side to attach a different meaning to Collins's meeting with Lord FitzAlan. In British constitutional theory, he met to Kiss Hands. In Irish republican constitutional theory Collins met FitzAlan to accept the surrender of the Castle.
Collins's provisional government operated under the GofI Act, subject to the procedural changes contained in the Anglo-Irish Treaty. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 20:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

message: This article needs to have someone define its scope a bit more clearly. There already is an article Tudor dynasty, which covers the major historical developments of the period.
