I've sen a "fitting" that reduces one size to another. These look to me to be cast. Certainly I've never seen a tap to make one. > A picture of the shoulderless version: > > <http://www.sonsbeek.com.au/product-details.asp?productID=84> > > > A picture of the shouldered version: > > <http://www.aquamole.com/accessories.html> > > > Also, the 91 series RF probes for the Boonton 92 & 9200 meters use > internally threaded pipe to make the adapters for various interfaces. > > <http://www.mjs-electronics.se/images/Boonton/91_12f.jpg> Boonton always did things against the laws of nature. Have you ever held that tap in hand? -- Keith

There have been ppl with a more ethical attitude to that btw. " Loyal and hard-working workers were treated with great respect and relatively high wages and good working conditions; Cadbury also pioneered pension schemes, joint works committees and a full staff medical service. Indeed, the Cadburys were particularly concerned with the health of their workforce, incorporating garden areas into Bournville's plans, and encouraging swimming, walking and all forms of outdoor sports " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville That's in the 1880s. " Joseph Rowntree was a supporter of the Liberal Party, and was anxious to improve the quality of life of his employees. He provided them with a library, free education, a social welfare officer, a doctor, a dentist and a pension fund. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Rowntree From the same era. It wasn't just about 'leasing labour' to these guys. Graham

I would guess that Terrell's experience (nobody who he has ever tried to get the drug companies to help, was actually helped) is about the norm. Eric Lucas
