    Interesting comment from Tip!

    The word Venturi came down to us from the Colonial days. A man named Venturi was getting irrigation water from an irrigation system, which all had outlet holes of the same diameter. However, it was found that he was getting more water from his same size hole that anybody else was, but still...

    Interesting comment from Tip!

    I think you are trying to inject a little levity into the discussion. However, you are pretty close to the truth of the subject... :thumbsup: In the Nortern Henisphere a right twist to rifling and the helical twist would be proper. The dynamics of liquid flow, the air mass and confined air...

    Kroil for lock lubrication?

    The WD in WD-40 Stands for water dispersant. Tne 40 stands for the fortieth iteration of the formula. The best use for WD-40 is for spraying on the inside of old distributor caps when an engine is hard to start of damp or rainy mornings. KROIL is the best penetrant I have found for bolts and...
