rdenn_58 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ahh yes, the hell hole. Gone to supply for many a new uniform after going in and out of there. My knees and back are what they are today because of the hell hole. How's about the "headache"......the nav's table drawer. Everyone seemed to get one after working the radar junction box, replacing a temp bulb, or fixing pitot/static leaks. Anybody got any Tylenol? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hell Hole, yes. I replaced (soldered in) the large connector on an APN59 synchronizer in a black AC-130 Gunship in Thailand in the summer. It was hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INS/Dopplertroop Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I'm with you Tiny. Over 1970-71, Taiwan, "soldered" in two APN-22 Radio Low Altitude Altimeter Receiver mounts and one ASN-35 Nav Computer mount. Spliced in two other ASN35 mounts. One with crimp splices temp fix. The other solder splices. Pilates and Yoga have nothing over the contortions those jobs put a body through. Still feel the burns my fingers took too. Solderless contacts one of world's greatest inventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3_Super_Bee Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 At the factory we call the box(and I'm brainfarting what the real name is) just aft of 245, and forward of the winch, on the centerline of the belly the "Bread Box" Damn thing never gets sealed right from the vendor, and we do it during pressurization checks.

Fräulein Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 After reading the past few pages - I have begun to wonder what an artist's rendition of the aircraft would look like using the terms described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ok guys,I havent seen this one here. Coffeegrinder= where the gimball linkage for the engine hook up to right be hind the horsecollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wilson Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I think we used to call the old ADF control head a coffee grinder as well, because of the crank for dialing in the freq's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 That makes sense. That crank was actually a mechanical speedometer type cable that ran from the flight deck to the radios in the rack behind the wheel well, back in the old days. I never saw it, but I hope it was in short sections... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troposcuba Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I know this is an old post (found it on google when I was looking for a part # for a breadpan). I am active duty right now. Working ISO sheetmetal... anyway, we call the beaded skin that attaches under the wing at the trailing edge where the ribs connect the breadpan if that helps anyone.

herkmechanic89 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Don\'t forget the...honey bucket and arkansas panel Which panel are you calling the "arkansas panel"? Haven't heard that one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Flight crew attitude adjustment tool - Seat rod I've heard the brace in the center dry bay called a "nutbuster" once. But I think that was an isolated incident. As for the "Arkansas Panel", I heard it in tech school, but can't remember what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
