So, would one route a small line from each runner to a central 'orange juice
can' (a la Ford) or some other 'integrating' device?  Clearly, the time
constant would be a consideration (too big a canister, too slow response).
Maybe just the time constant of the lines going to a central collector might
be enough averaging to give reasonable MAP.

Anyway, thanks for discussing this with me.
