JohniK, you are correct, I was following the usual (when I did it) English terminology. Then usually typed lbs/' or lbs/ft.
BUT I typed pounds at one INCH from the bolt. I plead that it is 35 years since I thought in feet and inches, and the abbreviations are growing fuzzy. And I didn't proofread carefully enough.

The information on taper-roller bearings is from personal experience. I once was the poor sod who fitted hubs in a car factory, and I had a tiny torque-wrench to be sure. Japanese cars, they are very punctilious. "You will tighten to 13lbs/' while turning the hub (forgot that), slacken off, and tighten to (whatever it was.)   I developed a personal method of getting the same result without the tiny torque-wrench. Never known to fail.

Kendall's method of tightening is like my method of cooking. 'Stop before it burns!'
