History (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Day_(United_States))
Federal income tax was introduced with the Revenue Act of 1861 to help fund the Civil War, and subsequently repealed, re-adopted, and held unconstitutional. The early taxes were based on assessments, not voluntary tax returns. Tax payment dates varied by act.

The case of Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co. challenged the constitutionality of the Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 which taxed incomes over $4,000 at the rate of two percent. The case was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1895. The Supreme Court decided that the Act’s unapportioned income taxes on interest, dividends, and rents were effectively direct taxes. The Act was therefore unconstitutional because it violated the Constitution’s rule that direct taxes be apportioned among the states.[8] In 1913, eighteen years later, the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. This Amendment gave the United States Congress the legal authority to tax all incomes without regard to the apportionment requirement.

The filing deadline for individuals was March 1 in 1913 (the first year of a federal income tax), and was changed to March 15 in 1918 and again to April 15 in 1955. Today, the filing deadline for U.S. federal income tax returns for individuals remains April 15 or, in the event that the 15th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the first succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

This year the filing deadline is April 17, 2018

    Airplane Bracket Castings

    Spotting Bracket Die Castings in several very different locations is interesting. While I was traveling in a Boeing 747-700 Airplane I discovered that the “Seat-Back Tray-Table” is held up using by two aluminum die casting parts as Bracket Castings. These bracket castings were attached to the seat back of the seat in front and to a plastic tray table. These aluminum bracket die castings are painted white to match their surroundings. These aluminum brackets are strong enough to hold a laptop or a plate of food or even the hands of someone working a puzzle or a book. These brackets are strong because they are designed using geometry that gives the bracket casting strength with corner radii and ribs and gussets.

    Aluminum Die Casting Airplane Parts are very common. Most airplanes are made from aluminum as the metal of choice. Aluminum die castings are lightweight and strong.

    Automobile Valve Covers
    Aluminum Automotive Valve Covers
    Valve covers are very commonly die cast in aluminum because they hold a chrome look without using chrome plating. Valve covers need to diffuse heat and aluminum is a great conduit for thermal transfer.

    Auto Wheels
    Many wheels are thought to be made from magnesium but are in fact made from aluminum. Aluminum is very strong and can be polished to a high luster.

    Aluminum Brackets
    Many of the engine components are held into place using die cast aluminum brackets. The brackets hold the alternator and air conditioner into place.

    Aluminum Heat Sink Diecastings

    Manufacturers are specifying the die casting process to make heatsinks in aluminum. What are Aluminum Heat Sinks? The material, aluminum, has great thermal conductivity.

    Aluminum is a strong and durable material, which is why this is an ideal metal to use in heat sinks. This metal is found in the earth and is extracted from ore. Some say that it is more valuable than gold even though it is very abundant since this metal can be used in a variety of ways due to its unique characteristics of being strong, durable yet light in weight. It is used as a part of many appliances people commonly use as well as electronics. Aluminum Heat Sinks are just one of the products made with this metal.

    Aluminum Heat sinks have one purpose, and that is to take away the heat from more sensitive parts in the appliance or electronic product it is in. Since electricity produces heat, it can damage the product. By placing a Die Casting Aluminum Heat Sink, the heat is diverted from the wires, boards and other more important parts of the product so that it can continue to function. Since aluminum is a very durable material, it is ideal for this job.

    Now, Aluminum Heat sinks are made by using the die casting process, a process which involves melting the aluminum first. The liquid metal will then be injected into molds, these molds will give the metal its new shape. Once the molds are cooled, it can now be opened and that’s it, a new heatsink has been finished. Since heat sinks are used by a lot of manufacturers, they are needed in large quantities. Die casting is the best way to provide large numbers of Aluminum Heat Sinks since it is a fast, cheap and reliable method.
