Rod, sounds like you know your stuff....I learnded (I meant to say it this way :-) ) this stuff as a simple farm boy going off to engineering school.....it's amazing how the practical stuff I learned at home helped me relate to the equations and lab lessons I did at school.....best example....I grew up on a dairy farm, but I helped out a neighbor that sold grain bins (built them for a couple of years) and milking equipment - a lot of vacuum milk systems. Went to college (first on either side of my family) and eventually took a lab class about vacuum sytsems....the top "book smart" people in there had no idea what was going on.....not to brag but....., I followed the tubes, turned the right knobs and had it figured out in no time....thanks to my farm training.....I know that several of the "book smart" boys never figured it out after a couple of tries (they were seriously worried about failing the class)....don't want to brag, just want to reinforce that the common sense you learn is more important than what you read in a book. I've learned a lot from reading this forum.....much more than I would from reading books, keep it coming and thanks everyone....for what it's worth this is my two cents.
