Sean,
Do I append the new info it right underneath everything else? Does it matter
in what order I position it relative to what's already in the vanilla file?
The 1/8IPS NPS (Nat. Pipe Size?) standard. If you 've ever taken a part a
table lamp, the threaded tubing used is always either 1/8IPS (3/8" OD) or
1/4IPS (1/2" OD). I don't where to find the particulars on these threads
yet. I m not sure if they correspond exactly to regular threads like 3/8-27
(closest one to 1/8IPS). Do you have a Machinest's Handbook handy? Might be
in there.
Thanks!
Gary
