Assembly of sth.
Hi all
Is it correct to say "the assembly of A and B"?
Example:
The defect is the direct result of improper assembly of A and B.
What I am meaning to say is this:
A and B are two components of a product, joining one another. Now the product is defective and the defect is caused by A and B not being put together properly during the assembly process.
Can "assembly of A and B" mean "assembly of A, and assembly of B"? Are there other ways to say what I want to say?
