A rotary cutting tool such as a helical end mill, having pockets arranged to overcome harmonic vibrations. The tool has at least two and in one embodiment all three of three spacing irregularities. In the first irregularity, columns of pockets, typically associated with flutes, are staggered circumferentially out of even spacing. In a preferred embodiment having three flutes, the flutes are mostly not centered on one hundred twenty degree intervals. In the second irregularity, at least some pockets are arranged at different radial rake angles. In the third irregularity, at least some pockets are arranged at different axial rake angles.

An indexable cutting insert () having a top surface () including a substantially planar central portion (), a substantially planar bottom surface (), and a plurality of side surfaces (). A long cutting edge (), a corner radius cutting edge (), a facet radius cutting edge (), and ramping cutting edge () are defined at an intersection between the top surface () and one of the side surfaces (). A margin () extends around a nose radius of the cutting insert () and blends into a flat surface (). A margin angle, C, formed by the margins () is less than a seating angle, B, formed by the flat surfaces (). The top surface () includes a plurality of upward sloping radius blends () extending between the substantially planar central portion () and a plurality of upward sloping rake faces () extending between a respective radius blend and its respective cutting edge such that the rake face forms an angle, A, of between five and twenty-five degrees with respect to the central portion () of the top surface ().

A pallet retainer for securing a load on a pallet within a cargo container is monolithic and has upper and lower arms. The arms are placed under and over a transverse member of the pallet and the retainer is secured to the floor of the cargo container by various means to prevent forward and aft shifting. The upper arms may be bifurcated into two transversely spaced segments to retain the vertical members of the pallet and prevent transverse shifting.

A data link for an automatic aircraft carrier landing system is described which an aircraft is guided to the carrier by pitch and bank information from the carrier so as to indicate to the pilot of the aircraft whether he is within a prescribed flight path for landing or whether he should be waved off for another approach. The information transmitted from the carrier is received by a microelectronic data link receiver having an internal clock which is synchronized with the incoming information to determine if that particular aircraft is being addressed and if so, what the nature of this information is so that it may be stored and presented to the pilot at a later time for appropriate action.
