Sorry ,-
typical designer ,-off on a different tangent -as usual
Really enjoy cat design posts --own a Supercat so am a big fan of Bill Roberts ,--also the same last name as mine ,-so in the past I,ve recieved questions from others that confuse us ,--that I refer to Bill on specifics of cat design .He has a tremendous working knowledge and readily available applied engineering formulas . --great stuff and really appreciate his posts .
Wout has done a very good job along with others input on the F-16 .
interpretation -
responded to earlier posts on sliding seats and their history applied to cat design .
The post commented on sliding seats and earlier W-1000 innovations of 10 ft racks mounted on travelers .also commented on patten searches and concepts and ideas over time ,--
Sail 7 seas responded with a comment on platform shoes etc of the era -
the return post was an attempt at a humorous responce on the era also with some added philosophical comment ,off on a different tangent -thanks Mary
Kev ,-thanks we are the same age so share similar experience and thoughts on numerous subjects -
Dav Ho --always good to read your posts --
It IS one of the best threads in a while
each have their own experience and perspective ,
Not sure if its a cultural thing but Wout often comes off as Bill noted as being "distastfull" in opinions offered .
needs to work on that as I do ,--thats why its recognized.
MAHALO

Been attending graduation cerimonies --so thought the Harvard speach from 78 that I ran across in other articles was timely and an interesting look back at the era --
then of big shoes --big hair -etc as sail 7 seas noted -
read it if you get a chance --link on the post
its fasinating -
"we have no where else to go ,---but upard on the evolutionary scale ,--
