Lynn,

 

A toothed belt makes sense. I was thinking ribbed or V.

That would be my fault. Clarity of transmission above all else, is the minimum requirement.

 

The wife and I returned from Hemet California last night. I now wonder why anyone lives around there at all, let alone not have enough housing at any price.

 

I note that the 737-700 has a top hinged emergency exit over the wing, rather than the plug style door that requires the door to be pulled inside and turned 90 degrees, so as to fit back out through the hole. The plug doors, like the main cabin doors cannot be opened against even a slight pressure difference with out side. It seems as though the top hinged door could be opened, and wonder what clever mechanism is in play to prevent it. Like the cargo door on DC-10's and the original and second rudder control ram on the 737, I am sure they are at least fool proof.

 

Anyone seen this mechanism?
