	Fail-safe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A device which, if (or when) it fails, fails in a way that will cause no harm or at least a minimum of harm to other devices or danger to personnel.
		An operation which ensures that a failure of equipment, process, or system does not propagate beyond the immediate environs of the failing entity.
		A system which has been structured such that it cannot fail (or that the probability of such failure is extremely low) to accomplish its assigned mission regardless of environmental factors.

	Air Fail Safe Actuator
		The Hytork Air Fail Safe Actuator is for larger valves with higher torque requirements, requiring reliable fail safe operation utilising a unique in-built air reservoir giving fail safe action without the torque losses inherent of spring designs.
		For torque requirement valves up to 28500 inch.lbs (3220 Nm.) The AFS (Air Fail Safe) actuator is designed to provide a high fail stroke torque in a double rack and pinion actuator that cannot be achieved using springs.
		Once the actuator has been used in the fail stroke due to loss of supply pressure, a minimum of 30 seconds must be allowed to charge the chamber with supply air before the fail action is used again.

	Fail-Safe Investing - Rule #3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Investment advisors and writers often refer to "safe investments" when they're really talking about speculations.

		Once having invested in a safe portfolio, you can set up a second portfolio with which to speculate — funded with money you can afford to lose.

	Fail-Safe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title refers to what could be called an "engineer's commandment": "fail safe", meaning to take account of the ways things can go wrong—fail—and ensure as far as possible that the machine, process, etc. will not make things worse.
		The title's irony is that, in this case, it is assumed failure is caused by enemy attack, and that the "safe" response is to follow the last authenticated orders at all costs.
		The term "fail-safe" has entered common speech based on the plot of the movie; it means to allow some sort of modest retaliation, or even perform it yourself, to avoid a greater escalation of hostilities.

	Television: Fail Safe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The 1960's was one of the century's most turbulent decades: Drugs, the Space race, hippies, assassinations, civil protests against the Vietnam War, and the threat of the Cold War and nuclear annihilation challenged conventional mores and undercut individuals' sense of stability.
		"Fail Safe" was a chilling novel about the Cold War and nuclear weapons that was written in 1962 by Harvey Wheeler and Eugene Burdick and made into a movie of the same name two years later by Sidney Lumet.
		Both movies had a major character based on civilian adviser on national security who was clearly meant to be a Henry Kissinger-type "hawk," which was appropriate since Kissinger's early fame rested on his advocation of the permissible uses of "limited" nuclear warfare.

	Shooting Times Magazine: Winchester's Short Magnums
		The Fail Safe bullet, with a deep hollow nose that upsets over a wide range of velocities and a rear lead core held in place and reinforced by a steel insert, retains virtually 100 percent of its original weight on impact and performs like a conventional-core heavier bullet in any given caliber or weight.
		In the.270 WSM the 140-grain Fail Safe is intended for heavier game, and the 150-grain Winchester Power-Point is intended for hunters who want even more bullet weight for their particular quarry.
		Even the heavier 140-grain Fail Safe bullet was explosive on coyotes, no surprise given the enhanced velocity coming out of the WSM case.

		The US military tries everything to stop them, but the bombers fly beyond "fail safe" and the president (Henry Fonda) is alerted.
		Grim, bleak and highly claustrophobic, FAIL SAFE is very much like director Sidney Lumet's previous film, 12 ANGRY MEN, in that it concentrates almost exclusively on the actors' performances and is shot mainly in tight close-ups.

		Fail Safe is a happy exception to the rule.
		And, interestingly enough, "Fail Safe's" reputation has only advanced over the years, as viewers (and I'm one of 'em) take the film on its own merits, not just as the setup line for Stangelove's macabre joke.
		With a great deal of thought, planning, systems implementation, checking and control, a system was implemented ensuring that even in a 'DefCon 1' situation (that's where Nuclear War has been declared), the deployment of nuclear weapons, so it was thought, could be 'controlled' and accidents could be avoided.

	DVD Verdict Review - Fail-Safe
		Dealing with the problem are the President of the United States and his translator Buck who are located in the presidential bunker; the staff at SAC Headquarters in Omaha; and a group at the Pentagon including the Secretary of Defense, various military personnel, and visiting political scientist Groeteschele.
		As various options for aborting the mission fail, the President contacts his Soviet counterpart in an effort to forestall outright war.
		In fact, there is much about Fail Safe that is suggestive of film noir, from the visual style to the mental distress of the principal characters—a distress that plunges them increasingly into the unknown because they apparently cannot control its source.

		This of course is the "serious" version of "Dr Strangelove" (though it was based on a different book) but the film makers here had some restraint, targeting New York and Moscow rather than the whole world.
		In "Fail Safe" a flight of US bombers is sent to bomb Moscow by a faulty signal box, in "Strangelove" they are sent on their way by a deranged base commander.
		Yet the military scientist urging an all out attack on the Soviet Union to take advantage of the "mistake" in Fail Safe is more chilling than Dr Strangelove because he is an otherwise unremarkable person.
