[Spridgets] Help - Seemingly Incurable Brake Fade

[Dave G.]

Re: G-Forces...

At one stage in my nefarious life, I was repairing and calibrating 
aicraft gyroscope instruments - artificial horizons and compasses.
We started having a run of returned units.
Transportation in the laboratory was always by hand and in specially 
designed containers.
An expensive and long inverstigation showed that a technician, 
bumping the carrying case into a bench surface at a 3 mph walking 
pace could cause an instantaneous G-force of over 800G on the 
gyroscope spindles. Thus Brinelling the bearing surface and ruining 
the calibration...
Hand transportation was replaced with a conveyor belt system.

Anything is possible if we include 'instantaneous' or short-term 
events and/or forces.
