  Patent 6167618: Method for repairing vertical welds in a boiling water reactor shroud using a clamp with eccentric pins
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein at least one of the pins is mounted on a disk and indexing marks are formed at angular intervals on the disk, and further comprising the step of using the indexing marks to determine the amount of movement of the at least one pin.
Boiling water reactor shrouds are disposed concentrically within reactor vessels to divide the flow of coolant water through the reactor vessels and to structurally support and align the fuel assemblies, steam separator assemblies and control rod guide tubes.
The shrouds are generally cylindrical and are typically formed of multiple arcuate steel plates joined by welds along their abutting vertical and horizontal edges.

 Forensic Science CSI Quest Pictures of Jesus Shroud of Turin
Throughout the centuries, as the Shroud of Turin was unfurled for public display and folded or rolled up for storage, microscopic bits of the filmy substance certainly must have flaked away.
In fact, when the Shroud was examined in 1978, pieces of the coating, pieces of the picture of Jesus, were pulled away when adhesive tape was rubbed on the Shroud to collect particulate samples for forensic science research.
To believe that the Shroud is fakery he or she must rely on an underlying belief that transcends forensic science as we know it today.

 Flax Fibers not Involved in Image Formation on Shroud of Turin
The Shroud's images are superficial and fully contained within a thin layer of starch fractions and saccharides that coats the outermost fibers of the Shroud.
Until recently, it was widely believed that the images on the Shroud of Turin were produced by something which resulted in oxidation, dehydration and conjugation of the polysaccharide structure of the fibers of the linen itself.
The Turin Shroud was examined with visible and ultraviolet spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, thermography, pyrolysis-mass-spectrometry, laser­microprobe Raman analyses, and microchemical testing.

The double braid shroud lines are secured to the Para-Anchor through stainless steel eyelets to the base of the swivel, which is unique in design offering a very compact, strong and effective unit.
It is often said that the rode line length should be x times length of boat or y times height of waves, etc. It is an impossible task to adjust the rode length in the conditions that are applicable at the time of use.
Secure the rode line from the bow outside of the lifelines fastened to the toe rails or stanchion bases by plastic cable ties, and lead it to the cockpit where it is made secure to the nearest stanchion base.

Each shroud line measured 60 feet from lip of the parachute to the Dee rings, of which two were used, this precaution to help stop oscillation of the parachute.
he airplane was attached to the shroud lines from the parachute by four flexible cables running from the bottom longhorns at the two main stanchions up through the wing.
Between these cables and the shroud lines of the parachute a connecting link was arranged that it could be released by the pilot on landing-- this to provide against the plane being dragged in case of strong wind.

The shroud lines should be as long as the parachute is wide.
That is, a shroud line for a 24 inch parachute should be 24 inches long, measured from there it attaches to the parachute down to where it is gathered together with the other shroud lines.
To use it, slip the looped ends of the shroud line through the loop on a nose cone and pull the parachute through the open loop in the string.

The control line spool is reached for and the line is attempted to be wound onto the spool.
Since one of the main factors for storage is line length I decided that hanging the line would be the logical way to do this.
This way the pieces of line can be hung upon the wall and are out of the way and are easily accessible and different lengths visible.

This parachute was first used at the beginning of the war and was an automatically deployed parachute by means of a static line which was attached to a wire cable on the inside of the transport aircraft.
Attached to the skirt were the shroud lines, which met at a central point where they were joined to two carry lines, which in turn were attached to the parachute harness by means of two snap hooks.
The two carry lines at the bottom of the pack were secured to two larger D rings on the waist of the harness with the snap hooks.

 Image on Shroud of Turin not Painted-Spectometry-Fluorescence
The primary goal of STURP was to test the hypothesis that the Shroud's image was painted, as claimed by Bishop d'Arcis in 1389.
Observations of the Shroud in 1978 showed that nothing in the image moved with the water.
The Shroud was observed by visible and ultraviolet spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and thermography.

 MSN Encarta - Parachute
So-called shroud lines are sewn into the seams between the panels, passing over the top of the canopy, and are connected at their ends to two metal rings.
Once the parachute opens, the jumper descends at a rate of about 5.2 m (about 17 ft) per sec and strikes the ground with about the same force as if he or she had jumped freely from 3 m (10 ft).
During World War II, armies made extensive use of paratroops, or parachute troops, who were often flown behind the enemy lines in transport planes; they were usually landed from low altitudes and their parachutes were arranged to open automatically, as the soldiers jumped, by means of long straps attached to the carrying plane.

 Radiocarbon C14 Sample Not Valid for Dating the Shroud of Turin
Damon, et al., reported that "The age of the shroud is obtained as AD 1260-1390, with at least 95% confidence." However, that date does not reflect observations on the linen ­production technology nor the chemistry of fibers obtained directly from the main part of the shroud in 1978.
The 1988 sampling operation was described as follows: "The shroud was separated from the backing cloth along its bottom left-hand edge and a strip (~10 mm x 70 mm) was cut from just above the place where a sample was previously removed in 1973 for examination.
The strip came from a single site on the main body of the shroud away from any patches or charred areas." The use of a single sample, assuming it was representative of the whole cloth, defied normal procedures and protocols established before the radiocarbon study.

 Support Lines
The operative term here, as EOSS reads it, is "impact", which we infer to mean the rapid application of kinetic energy rather than the gradual application of tension which is conventionally used to measure the "tensile strength" of a support member.
So in that sense, the 260 lb line that Chris and EOSS have used is well within the stipulated limit, even for the light payloads that we fly.
Chris is correct in pointing out that we use a spreader ring on the parachute shroud lines, about halfway between the 'chute skirt and the load line tie-off point.

 The Shroud - Description and History
One can see the real size of the eyes, the expression on the face, lines and shadows in different parts of the body, the positioning of the hands and feet, even over a hundred thin three inch lines with quarter inch dots on them.
One other mark that isn't part of the image is a line that crosses the throat of the man. This line has no relation to the image, and yet appears on many icons.
Some other points of similarity between the shroud and early icons were, no ears; no neck; no shoulders, a "forked" beard; a "truncated" mustache; straight nose; enlarged nostrils; one raised eyebrow; bruised forehead; abnormally shaded or swollen cheeks.
