Engineering
Cranked eye bolts used to be made by bending an "eye" into the end of a rod that was threaded at the other end.
Today, cranked eye bolts are now typically made by welding a cranked and threaded rod to a heavy gauge steel washer.
Cranked eye bolts are made with different degrees of crank and lengths of shaft for flexibility.

Famous quotes containing the word engineering:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
