We usually end up displaying them *somewhere* in our aviation-themed hotel... This box, however, is quite different, being chock-full of techical books and doctoral studies, with titles like: "Engineering Aspects of Liquid Metals for Heat Transfer" (published by the Atomic Energy Commission, 1952) "Convection of Heat Transfer in a Vortex Flow Under Pressure" (published by Air Force Systems Command, 1962) "Analysis of Thermal-Protection Systems for Space-Vehicle Cryogenic-Propellant Tanks" (published by NASA, 1962) And so on. There are dozens of them! Does anyone *use* these anymore? Is there any value in them? I hate to just throw them away -- but does anyone want/need them? you must have a little side table in each room. you know the one that typically holds the gideon bible thingy. well just put one of those titles in each little side table. try to resist the smiles when they do the wide eyed pay the bill thing if they get pinched ...hey that's another one gone :-) Stealth Pilot |
