Here's Section 6 - (Ch.4 - Cause of Accident, pt 3)

(length 39:48)

At the bottom of PDF page 76, (text page 71), there seemed to be two lines of text appearing in the wrong place. They were interpolated into a sentence at the bottom of the first column, where they made no sense. But if moved to the bottom of the second column, and inserted into a different sentence over there which seemed to be missing something, then both sentences made sense. So I took it upon myself to move the two misplaced lines when I read the section. If I should not have done this, let me know, and I'll cut and paste them back where I found them. To make it easier to see what I did, I will quote the sentences in question here.

Bottom of first column, with interpolated lines in bold -

The lack of roundness of the
segments was such that the smallest tang-to-clevis
clearance occurred at the initiation of the
[compressed will return to its original shape much
quicker than will a cold O-ring when]
assembly operation at positions of 120 degrees
and 300 degrees around the circumference of the
aft field joint.

Bottom of second column, with added lines in bold -

A warm O-ring that has been
[compressed will return to its original shape much
quicker than will a cold O-ring when]
compression is relieved. Thus, a warm O-ring
will follow the opening of the tang-to-clevis gap.
A cold O-ring may not.

And to add - the html version of the text has it in its proper place.

This is all tragically ironic.

Well, okay then! We're hunky-dory!

Thank you!

PL to come this afternoon, probably.

Section 6:
38:31 - "The rust colored line more or less parallel to the stubs" - I hear "parable" - your choice if you want to fix it, it goes by so fast.

Section 7 - PL OK!

By the time I got to that point, I was tripping over my tongue in every sentence! "Thrust structure", "flight phase", and "fuselage shell" already had taken multiple attempts, shpluttering like crazy -- so I'm not surprised that "parallel" somehow became "parable"!

Thanks! PL OK.

Well, kudos on only having one trip-up slip through!

For proper flow, I included Figure 5 immediately after its mention in the text on the following page.

Thanks,

Very interesting! I had no idea there was so much preparation needed beforehand.

Just a heads-up: I'll try to get it in before the deadline, but I might need a bit more time for chapter 1.
