Author Topic: Did You Know That... (game) Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-13-2004 01:28 PM                     Brad, that is to funny. I could read every word. Erik, hang in there man, it will get better. Did you know I have nothing to offer to this thread?  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-14-2004 05:23 PM                        Did you know that, in between my last post and this one, I have taken percocet 4 times (one of them a double-dose) for the pain involved with the dressing changes for my surgical wound? Did you know that, I'm connected to a vaccume device which forces the wound to close properly and prevents it from getting re-infected? Did you know that I am the test case for using this device to close wounds in that particular area? Did you know that I (a nearly-20-year-old man, at that time) had to spend almost a week at A. I. Dupont Hospital for Children while the doctors/insurance company cut through the red tape to get this device delivered to my home? (Did you know that the reason I had surgery at a children's hospital while an adult is because the initial surgery, MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO, was done at the same hospital (when I was 17) and they will continue to treat you until the age of 21, provided you are being treated for the same problem?) Did you know that the local branch of the company that makes/delivers this device forgot to send somebody out to deliver it after they told the hospital they would deliver by 3:30, we called them and they apologized for "dropping the ball" and asked if it would be okay if they delivered it the following Monday (I'd be willing to bet this person graduated from high school.) they wound up delivering it five hours late!? Did you know that the doctor believes I will be completely healed in 1-2 weeks?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 10-15-2004 01:28 AM                     Did you know if you mixed equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate, you could make napalm?

Back in the day the area immediately south of Chicago's downtown "Loop" especially along State Street and Wabash Avenue was a hotbed of film activity. Manufacturers were located there and according to a longtime employee of a major studio almost all the studios had branch offices there. Many had their own screening rooms and the employees were usually welcome at each others' preview screenings. Now it's all but gone. Parts manufacturer Edward Wolk & Company, one of the last holdouts, moved, first to a location several blocks away and more recently to the suburbs. That leaves two film related things on South Wabash: Custom trailer maker Filmack (Walt Disney once worked there!) ...and my storage locker.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-21-2004 08:19 PM                        Steve, You have to give it to them, Robbie and crew seem to be doing well!  |  IP: Logged Brent Neal Jones Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Ennis, T.X., USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 11-26-2004 06:33 AM                     Thank God Filmac is there. So many intermission shorts and cartoons have been lost and they still reproduce them. Filmac has quality goods as well. One of our "Deluxe Intermission" trailers at the Galaxy has close to 2,000 runs on it from another theatre. With the help of Film-guard and film done right, it still looks brand new.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-29-2004 10:43 AM                        Every time I see Robbie Mack at the trade shows, he proudly reminds me that he always uses Kodak print film for Filmack products. http://www.filmack.com  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-29-2004 01:43 PM                    quote: Jamey Mack.

No matter what type of internal combustion piston engine is measured, the horsepower and torque curves ALWAYS intersect at 5250 R.P.M.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-29-2004 09:25 PM                    Is that one of those things that is simply by definition considering the units involved? Like it would apply to any power source whether an electric motor or waterwheel, too? Just like when a vehicle wheel is revolving 336 RPM the vehicle will be traveling at the same speed in miles per hour as the wheel diameter in inches.  |  IP: Logged Scott Balko Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Redwood Falls, Minnesota, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-30-2004 05:37 PM                     Well Steve, I plead stupid on the electric motor and water wheel, I just know that on every piston engine I've had on the dyno, whether supercharged or naturally aspirated, the HP and torque values are equal when measured at 5250.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-30-2004 06:37 PM                  quote: Scott Balko ...the horsepower and torque curves ALWAYS intersect at 5250 R.P.M. Holy Smokes, Scott! I'm totally blown away by that! A cursory look on the inet produced these results: Thanks for the info!  |  IP: Logged Scott Balko Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Redwood Falls, Minnesota, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 12-01-2004 08:33 PM                     Yeah, it's a pretty interesting little piece of trivia. It's simply just a matter of the time window an engine has to complete it's cycle. No matter what the internal measurements are, to complete all four strokes in each cycle takes 720 degrees rotation of the crankshaft. Torque is a measure of how much work an engine can do at a given rpm, and horse power is the rate that the work is accomplished. When an engine is running slowly, maximum pressure in the combustion chamber can be sustained for a longer period of time and accomplish a large amount of work. The faster an engine runs, there is less time for the fuel/air mixture to react thus causing a drop in torque but an increase in the rate at which the work is done. So, at 5250, though the value of torque and horse power can increase or decrease based on pumping efficiency of the engine, the number will always be the same. I hope that made sense. There's alot more to it, but that's it in a nut shell.  |  IP: Logged
