On 3/5/97, "Donald E. Mannino" <DonMannino@worldnet.att.net> rote: <<Personally I prefer the pneumatic jackhammer approach. You can buy used ones at the equipment rental outfits at great prices.>> Sounds like a Serious Case for Steve Brady, Don. He could use an article on industrial voicing and regulation. Actually, I'd been fantasizing for some time about pneumatic voicing. Who remembers innoculations at an Army Induction Center wil the high pressure, pinhole-aperture gun. The line of hundreds of freshly shorn recruits moves up to the medical orderly with what looks like spray gun minus cup. He press the tip to your arm, clicks the trigger, and the serums pierces your skin at high velocity. (And if he thought you were muttering something abut his mother, he twitched his wrist at the same instant so that the spray would shear you skin intead of pierce it.) Wouldn't it be fun to have that gun, with no payload necessary, to shoot needle-thin jets of air into your favorite "love-to-hate" hammers.
