TR7/Taps/Hubel Space Telescope/No Brit Car Content

[paul a zielinski <paulzielinski@juno.com>]

Bruce and Guys,

Bruce: Congradulations  on your TR7 engine work!

Taps: Remember when the Hubel(sp?) Space Telescope was first launched and
it couldn't focus well?

A NASA guy gave a talk at my company. It seems that when the contractor
read the blueprints and tapped the holes for the mirror mounts, they used
the wrong taps/bolts. A TINY tolerance error resulted in the major
problem.

Sorry for not recalling the exact details.   

Cheers,

Paul        http://home.sprintmail.com/~paulzielinski
