You'll note I'm guilty of both topics.

 

Somethin's just plain wrong 'bout a group a lads who'd rather discuss antifreeze than French curves.

It's called andropause, dude...

 

They are called, "letter carriers" where I live. I call them, "postal persons". That seems to work better than, "mail woman" or, "femailman".

So those round holes in the street. Are they "person holes" now?

 

As if I haven't suffered enough today already... ha ha ha...
Anyway... the link is in the image, and John already posted the same reference... it's from the University of Saskatchewan.. did they get it wrong?

Yes, the 8.37 values should be "-" or "N/A" . The. Erosion of the table from the engineers toolbox.com says it would be boiling at those temps (unless pressurized). In other words, the footnote was wrong. I'm done on glycol and just starting on French Curves (my wife just got home).

Ummmm....better than woman holes, I guess.

Great... now I also have to suffer someone else's mistakes...

And no one wants to look at the other guy's.

I thought when menopause happened to a man it would be called womenopause.
And yes, it is politically incorrect to call a hole into the subterranean world a, "man hole". That would imply that women can't or don't work in raw human feces, and somehow, that's an insult to women.
As for the specific heat of antifreeze solutions, one graph in post #251 says, "yes" and the other says, "no". Right?
So many conversations going on! I need to check my drawing equipment for the presence of french curves!

Of course it's an insult... if it weren't true it would mean that women are full of it... (my wife's gonna kill me if she ever sees this)

In any social group always there is one doing the dirty jobs.

Hello,

Very, very interesting stuff... especially the part about the design being transformerless... thanks

"Many design tricks were used to reduce production costs of the five-tube radio. The heaters of all the vacuum tubes had to be rated to use the same current, so they could be operated in series from line voltage. The rectifier and audio output tube required more heater power, so dropped a larger voltage than the other tubes. In many designs the rectifier tube had a tap on the heater to power a dial light. The plate current was routed through that portion of the rectifier heater, in order to make up for the current diverted to the dial lamp. If the dial lamp failed, that part of the rectifier heater would have a larger current which could burn out the tube in a few months. Early radios had a resistor network to minimize the problem but this was soon eliminated as the cost of replacing the tube was not the manufacturer's problem. As with Christmas tree lights, if one tube heater failed, none of the tube heaters would operate."
"In older schematics, "M" was used to indicate "thousand" and not "megaohm".

 

oops. I though discussion of direct-to-mains circuits were prohibited here on AAC.

 

A proper antique

For 'tis the sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petard (Hamlet, Act III)

and possibly the only mention of an engineer in Shakespeare
