Talk:Vibration isolation

Neutrality/balance/content
This article needs to add a discussion about vibration isolation in general. As it is written right now, it seems to give undue weight to NSM vibration isolation; it reads like an ad for Minus-K, and uses some figures of theirs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oskay (talk • contribs) 23:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. In fact I think the whole section on NSM could be deleted, without much harm to anyone except the promoter. Presumably we once did have a section on passive isolators. Greglocock (talk) 06:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I see no reason for the page Vibration-isolation to exist, it is merely a fork of this one. v-i is not an english expression. Greglocock (talk) 00:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I support the merge proposal, but I disagree that vibration-isolation can be characterised as a fork. It contains entirely different material - none of it copy-pasted from here at a quick glance.  It therefore needs a proper merge rather than a simple blank and redirect as suggested by calling it a fork.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  08:38, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, sorry, the /title/ is a fork, the content is differnet. Actually the passive section of v_i needs expanding and much of v-i can be added into it. It does need rewriting, but that is no big deal, the images are useful. Greglocock (talk) 11:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Copyright SPIE ?

 * The theory of operation of NSM vibration isolation systems is summarized, some typical systems and applications are described, and data on measured performance is presented. The theory of NSM isolation systems is explained in References 1 and 2. It is summarize briefly for convenience.

Looks like the abstract of a scientific paper - Copy Vio ? --195.137.93.171 (talk) 01:18, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The theory of NSM isolation systems is explained in References 1 and 2. Can anyone explain what is this “References 1 and 2”? Lizia7 (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Direct copy of http://www.minusk.com/content/in-the-news/SPIEOptEng_0799.html, but presumably they submitted it, since figures and everything are included, so it's open source now and can be edited mercilessly. 71.167.62.246 (talk) 20:00, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
