It's on this site under "technical notes" and the "decoke your bullet.

Forget all forgoing technical babble, not really relevant to our machines.

I was told that with whitworth, the length of the spanner was designed so that when you gave it a final 'grunt' doing it up, that was a bout correct.



However, I have no idea is this is correct or not!




Most of my set of superslim spanners. Warms any engineer's heart!

Trouble is, some people's grunts are much bigger than others.
Generally I think people over-tighten fastenings in the belief that tighter is better - not usually true.

The previous owner of my Enfield must have had the strength of King Kong, I had to purchase a three foot long tommy bar to undo the nut on the rear wheel spindle.
