What did plumbers used for pipes used less today?

Plumbing gets its name from the Latin plumbum, the word for lead.Lead was used for centuries in plumbing as it was soft enough to be easily worked. However, it is a toxin and it was found that some traces of lead were getting into the water passing through the pipes - and was accumulating in people's bodies.


Why is the spindle on the lathe hollow?

The hollow spindle of a lathe allows for longer lengths of material to be held in the chuck thus eliminating constant material changing to and from the lathe in production turning. The best advantage is the saving in material costs. If one had to manufacture 20 bushings and they were all cut into separate billets, half of the material would be lost because the chuck needs some material to grip the work piece on. If for example 20 bushings of 50mm OD by 50mm long have to be made, one would need a piece of material of at least 1150mm long. A single shaft or hollow bar of this length can usually be stuck into the hollow spindle with only enough material sticking out to make one or two bushings at a time. Once they are parted off, the material can simply be pulled out and the next one or two bushings can be machined. In the end the wastage will only be a piece of material of 70mm long instead of 20 pieces of 40 or 50mm long without a hollow spindle.

On a Chevy s10 how do you reinstall the two bushings that go on the Allen bolts and sit between the caliper and the rotor cause there's not enough space?

You should note that the bushings fit into the holes in the caliper. So there really is enough room there. Put the bushings in the holes and fit the caliper over the rotor and work it back into place by jiggling it back and forth and down onto it. Then put the two Allen head bolts back in when the bolt holes line up.AnswerRemove caliper? From the rear?

If the bushings wear enough (usually are 95% of the squeaking problems) the front wheel alignment can change and can wear the tires faster if not make the vehicle pull to one side of or the other. There are rubber bushings on the bolts that attatch to the frame that keeps some of the vibration and noise down. They can dry out or harden and can either fall out or twist enough to wear metal to metal.
