CLASS: "Friction at the Center Pin, More Questions than Answers?" by Robert Springer
DESCRIPTION: This class aims to refine the way in which we approach defining and measuring center pin friction. It will also present current and ongoing research data which might suggest that when repining center pins, what we think is happening, might not be happening. Attendees are encouraged to bring a calculator, pencil, paper, and their preferred tools to measure shank flange friction.
If you're interested in teaching a class, please email Bill Kaye, RPT, Phoenix PTG Vice President via vp@phoenixptg.org.
For some ideas, read "Ideas for PTG Chapter Technicals" by Wim Blees, RPT.
