Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty transmission business. They were getting ready to tape the first introduction video. As a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an academy award for his stellar performance. This is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down.

Now
THIS guy understands the construction, implementation, and use of the Framistram
I have alluded to on more than one occassion.
He's a genius.

Great stuff! How he kept a straight face through all of that is beyond me.
He reminds me of a guest that Johnny Carson of The Tonight Show had on 2 or 3 times per year. Professor Erwin Corey. He would spout off stuff like that and when I got through laughing, I marveled in his ability to go into a monologue like that off the cuff.

I am not an engineer, but I understand where this guy is comming from. I understand the Turbo Entabul. I think I will wait to see if the price comes down a little before I commit to buying one though. A great idea.

Of course, the government will buy them. They have been buying the related products for years.

I'm glad they finally figured out the link between the modial interactions of fluxes and the sinusoidal depleneration of the marzel-vanes. The engineering community has been working on that one for years.
Now if only we could work out the way to keep high-modulus muffler bearings from suffering femptodendritic cyanoethylcalcification of the Ytterbium- 4 wt.%osmium- 10wt.% barium containment housing in galvanitically corrosive enviorments we'll be set.

on the front of the Immodium Q-32 Space Modulator, of course!

There was an old movie with a similar sequence, set in WWII. A captured pilot was "explaining" an aircraft part to a German officer.
Can't for the life of me remember what the name of the film was though...

The guy's a fraud! He completely left out the purpose, location, and function of the Kanuter Valve!
