Now say something about aviation, like who's been rotating the engines
on all those parked jets over in Russia to prevent brinelling of the
bearings?

I follow your meaning here Walt but what's "brinelling" indicate?

It is the effect that occurs when ball or roller bearings are not rotated
for a long period of time, resulting in differing levels of hardness
in the metal (the brinell scale is a measure of the hardness of a metal).

Thanks Al...wasn't familiar with that term...
