Range, upper and lower might not be in existing band

Did that slap to your forehead you made some time back
suspend the cognition of control system excursions ?

Maybe he is exercising his interest by wanting to find out,
its certainly a useful paradigm in any branch of technical
study to explore different instrumentation, any reliance one
has on one type of instrument with all its inherent errors
is somewhat one dimensional in any investigative approach
for the purpose of increasing knowledge and experience...

Hey Adam, you worked out how air/fuel gets into the greenfire
sparkplug yet, or are you following a different paradigm  ?
