Note that the old Voyager I thread has been cloased.
I've never asked myself that question, but looking back on the times where I've had to install cable glands using those very narrow castellated conduit lock-nuts, I'm not sure that I could've noticed a difference if there was any. In a quick look at vendors for conduit lock-huts (using Google)...
This reminds of what happened to the Zilwakee Bridge over the Saginaw River in Zilwakee, Michigan back in the early 80's. They were building this high-rise, multi-lane bridge to carry I-75 over the river bypassing a drawbridge, and one of the sections of bridge tipped out of alignment, and what...

A bit of trivia. After Boeing decided that they couldn't develop a new system, they sold off that group to another company which our company eventually acquired while we were part of EDS. While we didn't really care much about the software package itself that they had been working on, it...
McDonnell Douglas went through that same phase only in their case they went out and bought a company which had already developed a CAD/CAM system and while there was a lot of initial resistance on the part of the people that developed MDC's internal software, the handwriting was on the wall as...
