Scott Krueger has at last defined the final and ultimate answer! And
here I have been laboring under the false impression that one needed a
computer to "YAHOO!". I remember that once, many years ago, while on a
guided tour of the F-4 Phantom assembly line in St. Louis, the
partially completed fuselages at one point in the line, were actually
being rolled 360 degrees in the fixtures. It was referred to as the
"Tinkle Test" and silly me, I thought it was to listen for anything
loose, like the odd rivet or nut or overlooked tool, that might make
a sound as the fuse was turned. Thanks, Scott, for 'splaining what
they were really doing (but they must've drilled the hole in the
canopy later 'cause I didn't see one). Ah yes! Never too old to learn.

Dan Schaefer.
