For a few years, just because that's how it had worked out, we had two cars, and house insurance all do between the 10th and 18th of December!!!!!

These suits make up a lot of our overtime load. These are called propellant handlers ensemble(phe), used for fuel and oxidizer loading on satellites and other sections of rockets that require hypergolic propellant.
We build, repair and certify these suits among other things per Nasa's specific instructions.

99% of it I can't share but if it has been shared to Twitter or in a news article I will talk about it. Because of the nature of the work, being supplied breathing air related, we are asked to support a lot of different missions. If it flies from Kennedy or the Air Force side, we have supported it directly with at least one piece of equipment.

At the old job I had to order parts from Germany, sometimes they would get held up at customs because they weren't satisfied with the description...

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone

Past Tech with Rusty - forgotten muscle engines

The distinctive looking engine in this rod is a Buick "Fireball" V8, commonly called a "Nailhead Buick" due to the unusual arrangement and small size of the valves. Built from 1953-66 with displacements ranging from 322 to 425 cubic inches the Nailhead had quite advance airflow design for the time.

These engines were never intended for high rpm, they were designed to smoothly, quietly and efficiently produce tremendous amounts of low and mid range torque.

Notice the vertical valve, the unusual "underhand" way the push rod operates the rocker arm and the tidy pentroof combustion chamber with a center mounted spark plug, very similar to modern engines.

Notice the Buick has an "air gap" style intake manifold like many modern engines, this keeps the incoming air/fuel cooler and denser for more power - no plastic manifolds in the 1950's though.

The right side shows the intake path, the left show exhaust.
Notice how the smooth path of the intake runner is a constant size over the entire length.

Again the engineers at Buick knew what they were doing, they had been refining their previous straight 8 engines for 22 years to be smooth, quiet pullers.
These were a strong block too, notice how the skirt is well below the crankshaft centerline, a Chev has no skirt for comparison.

Below is a similar displacement Ford FE V8 from about the same era (1958-76) to compare. The FE is a pretty typical layout of the engines of the day - other than Buick.

The photo is the reverse of the Buick above, intake is on the left here.
Notice the intake path is neither as straight nor the constant size of the Buick.
The FE is a deep skirt block like the Buick.

The beautiful & distinctive Nailhead in natural habitat. Notice the spark plugs are hidden under the side cover.

Your knowledge never ceases to amaze!

@Fargo Taco why would someone draw a drawing and have all the radius's drawn as a spline? Is it simply because they don't know what they are doing?
