	This search turned up some weird results; can you pin this down some more? __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	It would be unlikely for the Dutch State Railway system to have its own proprietary threads. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	It is an old term used around the US for as long as I can remember (my kids think I am older then dirt) for "National Standard Threads".

	This reminds me of my first exposure to the NPSF thread designation. I still wonder at the idea of a straight pipe thread. The term oxymoron comes to mind. Someone out there with a rational explanation of this particular thread? __________________ If you fail to follow through, you will fail.

	I believe that this refers to a "special" thread, one out of the NF, NC or other classifications for diameter and pitch. For exanple a 9/16-30 thread would be clasified as NS __________________ The older I am, the better I used to be
