RE: Huey
My first guess was in the ball park, something critical to keep major parts
from coming apart.  Google finds the Heyzoose Nut that keeps the rotors on?
and I assume a retainer pin to keep the nut from coming off?
And yes Dave, I think the term is slowly dropping from common use.  Except
on the job :)
BTW, if you can find a copy, a great read is the Dictionary of
Construction  compiled and published by the Phoenix chapter of Women In
Construction.  An absolute hoot in some place and includes the Jesus Pin
and Jesus Clip definitions.
And since it is now well into Saturday I'll end this thread.
