A.....B.....C
1.....2.....3
then any combinations not in the modular 1-2-3 sequence were eliminated when heathicus originally said:
that constraint meant that it was not a combinatorial problem. it actually reduced the problem to: how many different ways can you put a tapered, equilateral triangular peg into a tapered, equilateral triangular hole.heathicus wrote:Upon reassembly, I did not make sure to put the jaws back in the same holes, but I did make sure to keep the jaws in the same position relative to each other and the chuck has performed flawlessly.
or, to put it differently, heathicus got it right in those figures he posted above.
