I first flew as a passenger in 1958 on an Eastern Airlines Constellation from Chicago to Atlanta. Those were the days when a lot of "holding" was done in ladder stacks when the weather was bad and it was bad. T'storms, lightning, severe turbulence, etc. I went through military flight training in 1960 when man had been flying for 57 years. I flew for the next 58 years (military, instructor, commercial, airline, etc) One year longer than "they" had been flying when I first began. Once I became a pilot, turbulence never bothered me. As long as I could grab hold of the radio knobs to change frequencies everything was OK. Then they went to glass cockpits which was a whole new experience. When you were about to poke a screen your hand would fly up and hit an oil pressure indicator or something. I much preferred the old knobs that you could grab hold of. I flew with a girl who got airsick very quickly and she bought two wrist bracelets with the ball bearing in each that presses against the inner wrist. She said that helped a lot. She wore one on each wrist. I flew with another girl who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat barfing into a bag and I told her it was good for her to be getting this experience early in her flying career. She managed to say "thank you" very weakly. I just laughed.

Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically?
