In the movie “300” the Spartans are not wearing armor however in real life they did armor was a major asset to them. The battle took place in 480 B.C. Frank miller said that the Spartans weren’t near as cruel in the movie as they were in real life. The movie shows a new born being held above a cliff to be decided whether the child was well enough to be kept and if it wasn’t they would throw the child into a place called “the place of rejection.” This was a real practice of the Spartans. Leonidas in the movie kills a woof in the woods as training to be ready to invade, but Spartans really were sent to kill a slave and if they got caught they were punished for getting caught not for taking a slaves life.…

This rib is also suitable for a variety of loading conditions. Forged ribs are manufactured using heavy press-machinery, and are used for sections where very high loads apply.

The stringers on the skin panels run in the length of the wing, and so usually need to bridge the ribs. There are several methods for dealing with this problem.…
