Torque specifications:

[Bullwinkle <yd3@nvc.net>]

While recently checking torque specs in a Sturtevant torque wrench book I
came across the following listings.  Part of the information doesn't make
sense. It appears as though some of the data is in the wrong column or the
wrong make.  ut it may contain some new information for others.  Perhaps
someone can make some sense of this. AFAIK there are no typos.
I tripple checked.

Torque is in foot pounds
