@Bob: IM S6

For help in solving problems when I was much younger, I used to go to a little, old but fascinating German guy.  His name was Hans Kleber, and he worked where I did when I first got out of school.  He was one of many who emigrated here after WW II and helped build the new American economy.  Ask him anything and he had a credible answer.  He didn't have a specific job or title.  He just wandered around the place and would drop tidbits of insight to help the engineers to solve their problems.  He had a habit of leaving the microfiche readers on after using them, so they all had notes  taped to them and curiosity about that note led me to meet him and develop a friendship (he was my third Grampa).  I thought it must mean something important, because every Fiche reader had one taped to it.

The notes said:  "Hans!  Bitte schalten Sie das Betrachtungsgerät aus!"  

Which, translated, said:  "Hans!  Please turn off the viewing machine!")

@Stan Galat Thanks for that in-depth explanation of the heat-retention properties of different viscosity fluids.  

For once on here, I just gave the "Readers Digest" version.
