How I reduced Ramsay to a blubbering wreck. Gordon Ramsay, the flamboyant celebrity chef, is famous for his hard man image and is known for tearing strips off anyone who crosses him in his kitchen. But it seems he has not always been so fearsome.
posted 09-04-2000 10:41 PM Many of our gearboxes contain C3 clearance bearings. The explaination I was given regarding this is that it is due to the high ambient temperatures of our region.My info says that C3 clearance were for use in applications where there is a temperature differential between the inner and outer races.Hence there is uneven thermal expansion resulting in closing up of the internal bearing clearance.his is because general equipment, most motors, pumps and gearboxes, do not maintain the high machining tolorances required by the use of a C2 or tighter bearing and does not require the loose tolorance of a C4 or higher due to either thermal expansion or location.I guess this would make a C3 the normal.
Three-figure bearings. Imagine that you are in the middle of the ocean. You are lost and you cannot see any land. You radio for help and are told to turn 125Â° clockwise. But 125Â° from where? Which direction should you be facing in the first place? One sensible idea is to start by facing north. This is the way that 3-figure bearings work. Always start by facing north, and always move in a clockwise direction. Angles of less than 100Â° are written with a '0' in front, to make them a 3-figure bearing. For example, 060Â°, 021Â°. Finding the bearing of A from B. Here is an example. Imagine that you are at point B. You need to travel to point A. On which bearing should you travel?
