We're joking. But, total loss systems are very common... the Bridgeport mills are supposed to be dripping oil... if there isn't any oil coming out of the head, you need to add more. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

But that isn't exactly impractical. A bridgeport that has been used daily for 50 years will have the same amount of rust as when it was new. But if it is taken out of service they rust like crazy. -jim > --scott > > -- > "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

Not today, but once upon a time, at least "partial loss" systems were in regular production. e.g. http://www.forengines.com/demoa-1.jpg http://www.forengines.com/demoa-2.jpg nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel

It was not designed to run for long periods anyway. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
