Does anyone know whether aviation incandescent light bulbs used for various cockpit lighting are special in any way? How precise do voltages need to be? How sensitive are they to ripple/noise/spikes/etc in the power supply?
The third post has a diagram of a side view of a gantry for a CNC Router and the forces upon it.

I guess this is why the shut off valves in red are...
Hi Guys, was hoping to run this past some different eyes to see what can be improved and perhaps changed altogether.
