Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
A 'What Ca Ma Call It' is just about anything. Of course I spelled it wrong!

My understanding is a "double jack" is the drill that some trusting soul is holding for their partner to hit with a big hammer. A "single jack" is smaller and held by the same person using a smaller hammer. Back on early ford topics, most "top irons" are actually steel on Ev8 roadsters and convertible. |

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
As a young 'back to the land-er' I once lost a nice old wood cookstove off of a flatbed truck. Was just going a mile or so and keeping it under 30, so hadn't secured it very well. That's when I learned the difference between iron and steel! The two wood stoves I have today are made from 1/4" steel plate and angle iron, I mean angle steel.

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
My southern friend thought I was a heathen after he told me he sold bobbles in the summer and I asked him what a bobble was. And he also said to stop putting a long "e" after the word I when I talked. . and Iee now think he is right. But not about me being a heathen. Terry

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
It is similar to a bangle and a bead. But the lines are blurred by time and geographical boundaries.

Try assembling a machine with lag bolts and you’ll answer your own question!

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
It's Baubles, Bangles and beads. It is from a musical. The actual melody was written by classical composer Alexander Borodin of Prince Igor fame. It has been recorded countless times by various artists. I don't know how to link a Youtube recording of the Jobin/Sinatra version but you can find it here,

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
I still call a road roller a steam roller.
My parents called the radio a wireless. |

Wel some of them still steam. Roller gets hot from the hot mix and the water sprayed on them steams.

Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
Lag bolts have a hex head like a bolt.
Machine screws have a screw driver head.
