sprint0800: 金币+5, ★★★很有帮助, thank your for your help 2016-03-10 21:19:23
Sentence on the second line above is missing a verb, i.e.
INSTEAD OF
  ... that a  steal rod on the bottom of shell
TRY
  ... that HAS a  steal rod on the bottom of shell
where
  (3rd-person singular pronoun) "that" = "mistake-proof [shell] design"

So
  Original Shell = Design #1 = NO steel rod  = more likely to be misused in service
    vs
Proposed Shell = Design #2 = HAS steel rod = almost impossible to be misused in service

And
  "mistake-proof"  =  "almost impossible to be misused"
  "in service"  =  "being used by customers for its intended purpose"

Note
  "mistake-proof"  is NOT everyday English
  Engineers say "idiot-proof"
  Textbooks say "more robust"  or  "more sturdy"

In terms of grammar,
  "... that HAS a  steal rod on the bottom of shell"
is a clause used to describe Design #2

Such long clauses are common in everyday conversation, but can be omitted when writing instead of speaking

  Please also show me a drawing of the mistake-proof design showing a  steal rod on the bottom of shell

  Show me how the shell can be made more robust by a steel rod underneath


The last sentence is much shorter than your original sentence, but will be understood by listeners to mean the exact same thing
