Mounts.

 

[Thurston]

Agreed. Vibration induced fracture.

 

[Laughing Grass]

what is it?

 

[Thurston]

Transmission case

 

[Laughing Grass]

LMAO I was thinking washing machine or dishwasher

 

[Thurston]

We ran a vibration table for testing purposes. I have seen many things break as a result. Pretty cool if you can catch it with a strobe light just before it breaks.

In museum work, mounts and mountmaking and design of shipping containers for unique, priceless objects is a big part of the job. We were receiving a shipment of objects on loan from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg for a big show on Timurid art. The Russians couldn't pack or crate for shit. We opened this crate about 6x6x 1 feet. Inside we found a 15th century Timurid mosaic panel shattered into 20 pieces. The crate was the exact size of the piece, no padding, no straps, just rough pine boards NAILED shut. No skids on the bottom to allow a pallet jack, just a box for monkeys like us to figure out. And it became an incident. The Russian courier accompanying the loans was ready to ask for asylum, the ambassador sent someone to yell at our director. Maybe 1988? Still the Soviet Union.

What it looked like. It was already extensively repaired as you see. Why am I posting about this in funny pics?

Yup

I get the frustration. People packing expensive things for shipping and have no clue how, drove me nuts for years working for the design company I worked with. I'd send something out to get powder coated, pvd'd or anodized. Shit would mostly always come back screwed up. Just re pack how I sent it. It gets expensive quick.

That's definitely something I don't miss....all that stress.

Thankfully no, it hasn't run for awhile, long story.

I kind of lived for it. Being a federal worker removed the stress of business considerations. We had a job to do and rules to follow but there was a lot of improvisation to get to the goal. Your tax dollars at work.

We shipped very sensitive items which means they got their own human escort and seat on the airline. Everything gets qualified with rigorous testing including shipping methods and protection, if it passes no problem, if not it needs escort. Sometimes we had to travel to help un-package.

 

[Shane Karmann]

I did that too.

I am mindful of the time we sent 2 shipping containers to the wrong country. The one that went to Africa was supposed to go to Indonesia and vice versa.
