Maybe the metal sheet was also magnetized.
A lot of that assembly line stuff is top secret, and we are required to sign an NDA before they let us into the plant. And there is definitely no picture taking allowed. The personal computer manufacturer has assembly line secrets that allow him to build and ship computers faster than his competitors; a snack chip manufacturer has a secret method for getting the flavored coating to stay on the chip, etc..
I'm not really involved at the assembly level. Usually by the time it gets to me, it's all boxed up and ready to ship.
Once saw an interesting trick one plant uses for getting whole chicken breasts to flow through a pipe.
And while many of your Fallow posts were over my head, it was fun trying to figure them out. It made me feel smart if I managed to decipher even the first layer. And many of your posts had multiple layers...like ogres.

I had to rewrite that bastard of a paragraph 3 times over to minimize ulterior-symbolism-attachments and it still came across as confusing. This is not an insult. This is a base confusion in the language written (or transcribed). I wonder if it flew over TD's head, too?

Do you think the optimum vibration frequency to get the bolts to stand up is determined by the length of the bolt, or is it the mass of the bolt?

No. But I must say that I'm rather surprised to discover that my humor apparently flies over your head, Mike. I've always assumed, for all your own tendency towards obfuscation, that you were a pretty perceptive guy.
