Miller Dial On The Moon

August 3rd, 2010 Nate No comments

The Apollo 11 space flight landed the first humans on Earth’s Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission, carried out by the United States, is considered a major accomplishment in human exploration and represented a victory by the U.S. in the Cold War Space Race with the Soviet Union.

Many of the leading manufacturers of the time were contracted to fabricate components for the mission. Miller Dial was contracted to manufacture around 100 lunar plaques. These plaques were made out of stainless steel and were 9″ x 7 5/8″.

The plaque was attached to the ladder on the descent stages of the lunar module. The remainder went to pivotal people who contributed to the Apollo mission and were given out as mementos to foreign governments through various United States Embassies immediately after the flight.

All of the plaques bear facsimiles of the participating astronauts’ signatures. The Apollo 11 plaque bears a facsimile of the signature of President Richard Nixon.

 Custom Adjustable Handles From Monroe Engineering

As the old saying goes, it’s always important to have “the right tool, for the right job.” Thus, with adjustable clamps you not only need to utilize the right tool, but you need to make sure it works properly. Yet, aside from working properly, a product such as an adjustable clamp has certain product specifications that need to be met. The last thing an individual or a business wants and/or needs is a product like an adjustable clamp that can create problems, or worse, not be of assistance with projects. Here is a key list of what is important when it comes to purchasing and utilizing the right type of adjustable clamp:

  • Safety based feel and grip that is positive and won’t wear down easily.
  • Additional accessories available based on job needs
  • High Quality with a proper finish
  • Proper Assembly for product specifications is noted

Once again, the goal is to have the right tool for the right job, and that rule is a must with any adjustable clamp you or your business decides to purchase. It’s all about creating solutions to your problems, and not more problems and that’s what we do at Monroe Engineering. Adjustable Clamp needs can be met when you get all of your product specification needs met.
