The height of 1940's Aerospace! I was contracted by a museum that's restoring a missile airframe for public display. They needed a couple of dozen coupling bolts recreated from the original manufacturer's blueprints. I needed a translator. These attach the upper fuselage to the engine thrust ring, and then the lower fuselage is subsequently attached. (The customer's clearance folks would prefer I not identify the museum or the specific airframe. Trust me, though, it was a highlight project.)
