Heating Help ahead of the industry buzz

Christian Egli_2

How neat is this, two topics I know of that were discussed within the last week happen to coincide with articles I just read in my freshly received magazines. It seems we all drink the same water.

First, the supply house topic was in sync with the full feature presentation about one wholesaler in the current PM magazine. It was about the 50 years of Winnelson.

Second, the ES magazine has a multi page spread about how to run HVAC machines at the top of mountains. In sync with Noel's post of a few days ago.

Is the Wall relevant or what?

And just to be in sync with the rest of the world, today's the day the Wright brothers flew off of the earth a long time ago. Made in Dayton.

where do you think they get there ideas from ;-)

The secret's out

We should write all this in code.

They were my first two heros growing up

Not because they were less than "fully educated", but because they didn't listen to anybody telling them they couldn't do it!

After they "Did it" everyone treated it as a fad. But these two kept at it, selling their planes and charging for rides until it caught on. They made thier idea "Relevant".

Most if not all of this industry's "Wright Brothers" hang out here.

This is flying way above my head

Though I've read magazine articles like that. I need the decoder ring.

Poor David....

Wrestled to the ground and beaten soundly by the SpyBot Random Password program...

That had to hurt!

David Sutton_6

LOL !!!

UNCLE !!

Brad it was the famous computer toe-hold that got me


David

Weezbo

you oughten be saying things like That David:)

this is a family site *~/:)

Rumor

has it David, that the toe-hold is worse than the famous CLAW-HOLD. Unless of course it was administered by the Killer himself.

Secret decoder ring no match for David's cryptics

As far as a declawing device, here's what's needed

The machine to break codes such as those of the impossible to violate WWll Enigma Rotor-Schluesselmaschine was a Dayton creation. They called their code buster the Bombe after the favorite bombe glac

Christian, I have a glass model if anyone is interested.

You mean Enigma

was made in Dayton all along and we had to capture a live U-Boat to get one?

Sounds like the government was involved.

Then Canaris added that extra wheel....

Knowing better not to ask... you got me on a roll

In Dayton we only had the Bombe machine to break the Enigma. The Enigma itself is German made of course, the Japanese used it too.

Then, it was in Poland where mathematicians first figured out on what principles the Enigma worked (Modulo n theory). Poland, of course, was promplty invaded and this embryonic research moved to Bletchley Park in Britain where Alan Turing figured what a computer (which didn't really exist yet)should do to in order to save them all the manual labor.

And bam, NCR, our local cash register company was the one to build a rotating cylinder computer to reverse out any codes the Germans might use. Unmöglich!

Mechanical machines were not all that secret, the Enigma machine was strictly mechanical, the big secret was the electronic memory bank that Joseph Desch had already built himself with boat loads of vacuum tubes (He also built a machine for NCR's mass production of vacuum tubes, hehe) The real trick was adding the memory bank to the mechanical computer, now the machine would be able to run at thousands of RPM, the gigaHertz measure of the time.

No one else had that at the time. The Bombe weighed what elephants must weigh, but is was already portable: it came on wheels. One such model is exhibited at Langley's. Others are said to have been buried in an old canal ditch under what is now a major avenue here in town.

Meanwhile, the French were enjoying the delicious ice cream bombes.

There was some incestuousness to the whole story, Joseph Desch was of Bavarian descent and had plenty living relatives remaining. Thus, his daughter who grew up during the whole thing, remembers the live-in Marines in their home at all times, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the living room. Trust was not a casual issue, and the daughter remembers not knowing what was going on and also knowing better than to ask questions. Also, the family didn't live that far away from Runnymeade Playhouse with the pretty flowers glowing in the dark...

A canary might not have survived.

Thanks for asking.

Educational stuff

Doug, that's a cool looking replica. Is it something you make? It looks made of hydronic copper.

If for sale, it's something to push at the National Museum of the Air Force gift store.

Of course, the most authentic Wright flyer is here in town, the one at the Smithsonian having been torn apart and rebuilt a bunch of times.
