Well, the air pressure theory was disproved. The last I read they were
theorizing about inter molecular adhesion and wondering about how to
prove it :-)
Would that not be "cohesion", not "adhesion" since it is between
two pieces of the same metal?

I don't remember. It's Friday night, and I've about done thinking for
the week. d8-)
:-)
BTW I've never had a chance to try this, but do steel and
carbide and ceramic gauge blocks all wring together cross-species? (All
I have are steel ones.) If so, then we can eliminate cohesion as a
requirement. :-)
Yes, they will all wring together. I've done it. I ran a photo of a
mixed stack in _Machine Shop Guide_ many years ago.
O.K. That eliminates the need for cohesion, but adhesion is
still a possibility.
Thanks,
DoN.
