All of these convert low forces into high forces or vice versa, and the ratio of the input force to the output force is the mechanical advantage.
Mechanical advantage for a lever is equal to the ratio of the length of its two arms, for example, and the mechanical advantage for an inclined plane with the force acting parallel to the plane is the cosecant of the angle of inclination.
The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is also affected by factors such as friction and elasticity, however, and so will usually differ somewhat from its theoretical value.

To avoid both situations, spray canned air at an angle to the parts you're cleaning and keep the nozzle several inches away from the area to avoid condensation; or simply vacuum the lint out.
A serger can sew up to 1700 stitches per minute whereas the traditional sewing machine sews from 700 - 1100 stitches per minute.
Sergers can do wonderful things within the construction process, but they are a companion and cannot replace the traditional sewing machine.

Today, several companies manufacture complete M14-type match rifles and several more manufacture semiautomatic-only receivers and other parts that allow custom gunsmiths around the nation to build semiautomatic M14-type match rifles, most of which are capable of poducing less than one-minute of angle accuracy.
This revised and expanded guide to the "greatest battle implement ever" (General George Patton) describes the entire range of MI Garand production in text and quick-scan charts--dimensions, markings, finishes and changes by serial number range--in the manner our customers have come to expect from North Cape Publications.
Any Garand can be analyzed in minutes to determine if it is "as manufactured" or to replace parts or rebuild the rifle to return it to its original condition and increase its collector's value.
