On one end is a driving adapter, (to fit the hammer for putting it in, or a screwdriver for taking it out) and on the other end is a point. Both are on ends, QED. |

I forgot about the new style of screwing :o |

| 795751 | 2009-07-29 21:03:00 | Well that's entirely relative to which end you are looking at first Which raises an interesting point....if you spin a wheel clockwise, and then look at it from the other side, it is now going anti-clockwise. Likewise with a right handed screw thread, if you look at it from the other end is it now a left handed thread ????????? I firmly convinced a physics undergraduate from Sheffield that this was so, or was it that he already thought this and was trying to convince me with deep thoughts about parity, either way it was about half an hour before I could pick myself up from the floor........... |
