Thanks for the article. Coincidentally I was just talking to a guy in the local rural dinner two hours ago about hydralic and flexible hoses. His hoses on the field sprayer truck booms kept blowing (15 gallons) and I told him to make sure when they were installed to always keep them in a single plane. I introduced the concept of ‘squrim’ plates to him. The picture of the Tory-IIA Nuclear ramjet test reactor was an excellent example. There were only a couple of hoses in that picture that were ran incorrectly.

When I first met the guy he asked me if I was Amish, lol. Coincidentally, Jack Hope, one of those champions on the GE nuclear engine project in being honored at the local historical society next week for his work.
