  "Fixed body mechanical plug gages are one of the best ways to measure hole diameters. With this type of gage there is no rocking, as with an adjustable bore gage. It is fast and provides high performance for tight tolerance holes. Because these gages are easy to apply, 
they are usually used to measure high volumes of parts. Even in cases
where the parts are expensive and the tolerance tight, a fixed body plug
may be an economical choice for the application. There simply may be no
other way of measuring the critical part tolerance required..."

There are many standards that describe how form measurements are to be made. Diametral (two-point diameter) and chordal (vee block) are probably the must common standards, although they provide the least amount of real information. Form measurements such as roundness are best done with a radial method, usually using a form gage..."

 "We often focus on the symptoms of a problem without ever delving deep enough to find its true cause. Yet if we do not find and eliminate the cause then we are doomed to face the same problem again and again.  Possible production problems include having trouble finding the right tools, fixtures, supplies or equipment required to run a job. Another common scenario is parts piling up at the inspection station, waiting for rework or other disposition instructions. These are symptoms or visible outcomes of problems within a company. A simple technique can help us get past the symptoms and focus on the root causes of the problems. A “cause-and-effect” diagram is one such technique..."

Even in the harmonized interaction of machine parts, however, friction develops; and unless the parts are properly lubricated, such friction can tear the machine apart.  Like the interacting parts in a machine, human relationships in any workplace environment require the peacemaking lubrication of gentleness. Every community in every generation needs peacemakers. Gentle relationships are not arrived at, they are maintained..."
