The first thing that enetered my mind was that these so called engineers have absolutely no idea how old these "NEW" ideas of theirs really are until the dampness behind their ears starts to dry. The Mark 113, Mod 9 Fire Control System was a maze of resolvers, servos, selsyns and error voltage wires...not to mention travelling nut mechanical rods, pulleys, screws, twisters and 3-ton fish. But Larry beat me to it. ;-) -- ============================================================================= = Mike Carter N7GYX, Phoenix AZ| Q: Why did the Chicken cross the road ? = = hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!wiz| A: To ESCape the Main Menu . = =============================================================================
