Dee:
This is going to sound like a joke (and heaven knows I NEVER JOKE!--but it isn't...), I once heard the little windshield wiper pumps, the ones which spray on the window cleaner were the by-product of nasa technology adopted by the auto industry; you wouldn't know about that, would you? Funny, but that question has stuck in my mind for years. I had made a mental note to ask, if ever given the chance... sometimes doesn't take much to entertain me... frown I actually doubt it... I mean, the cleaner would freeze in the tank in space, immediately freeze and/or crystallize to ice when discharged, etc... or, perhaps they meant the pumps used by nasa were actually for another purpose and just adapted to windshields here on terafirma...

Dee: Just could explain why all these cars have taken on an "aerodynamic look" to 'em... yes indeed, I think I can see your hand at work here. If fact, now I look closer, some pretty feline lines grace those rigs! grin Just offhand, I'd bet aerospace was much more interesting... John Actually I have nothing to do with the exterior lines of automobiles. I work for a supplier developing underhood components. Well every job I've had has been interesting when you really dive into it. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
