16 or 18 gauge nailer

This was an oil burner.

Instrument air is a whole different world which is rapidly going away, thank heaven.

Digital electronics have made 3-15 PSIG puff puff totally non competitive.

Wait a minute, this was about Teflon tape.

A little story aside.

Way back when Teflon was first introduced, there was a technical paper written in French that needed to be translated into American English,

Hired a local college professor to translate.

Came back a few days later saying he was almost finished except for the word "Te-Fla".

Not sure whether the chief engineer broke the news to him or not.

If it weren't for the Toyota badging (not to mention the word "TOYOTA in the window) I would have guessed it to be the redesign of the Honda Ridgeline.

With a fat Aston Martin nose.

That is what I first thought it was. A Ridgeline on steroids. Nothing new under sun, I guess.

Here's some samples of the high-beltline designs from Chrysler. 73 years ago! Not so much the nose as the side view.

Ah, any tiny orfice. A nailer? Not so much. *S*

And much more accurate/reliable. That was already evident back in 1975 when I was involved with the installation of 4 Bentley Nevada systems on units 1-4 at Hearn GS Toronto. A lot of that was still analogue though.

Just to follow up, did it yesterday. 16 gauge where I had plenty of room, and 18 in the tight spots just for reinforcement. Worked beautifully.

Even got my crown about 90% done yesterday. A real accomplishment when you consider my house has angles that Dr Suess would be proud of.

Thanks again for the help. Now I just need to make a decent case for the pin nailer...
