For anyone who hasn't had enough of this bolt tightening discussion, a good
reference is Carroll Smith's book "Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing
Handbook". Chapter 3, pages 46 - 52. Some theory, tempered with Carroll's
practical experience.
Even Carroll concludes by saying "that is probably as much as anyone ...
needs to know about threads in general. For that reason and because I am
tired of the subject, I will end this chapter ..."
and he's probably right.
