Here's how to install a new internal drive as extra storage or as a new boot drive. Here, we installed Seagate's Barracuda 7200.10, a $124, 320GB Serial ATA (SATA) drive, inside a Dell Dimension 8400 running Windows XP Home Edition.
The tamping rod is a round, straight steel rod used with concrete cylinder molds, slump cones, and unit weight tests. Measures 5/8 diameter by 24 length. Both ends are rounded to a hemispherical tip. The tamping rod is plated for rust resistance and has a 6 scale in 1/4 increments engraved on end of the rod for measuring the slump. The Cat# TR375 is a 3/8 diameter by 12 length, rounded hemispherical tips, less scale.
Rodding is recommended to control repeated fractures of a long bone, and to improve bone deformities that interfere with function. A curved or bowed long bone is not in itself a reason for rodding unless it worsens, repeatedly fractures, becomes painful because of stress fractures, or interferes with function.he bone must also be strong enough to allow the rod to be anchored at either end, and this type of rodding surgery requires incisions around the joints. Introduction Rodding surgery involves internal splinting of the long bones by means of the insertion of a metal rod.
