|
Spring has arrived, with all the fanfare of a 3675th place finish in the Boston Marathon. As I write this, I am elated by the sunny and relatively balmy weather outside, but also saddened because I know the daytime high barely pushed the mercury into the “normal” range for this time of year; relativity is a funny thing.

The Metric vs Inch debate: Retaining rings weigh in
The retaining ring was invented in Germany nearly 100 years ago and naturally followed the DIN metric standard since its inception. When the retaining ring was first produced in the U.S. a few decades later, it conformed to the inch standard. The U.S. engineers who conceived the inch version considered their design an improvement over the German DIN metric design.However, a series of events in the years to come proved that there was more value in offering both standards, if the U.S. was to meet worldwide demand for retaining rings.
