A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering How many engineers does it take to change a valve? Apparently, 130, if it's a valve on the trans-Alaska pipeline, and weighs 76,000 pounds! If vacation thoughts have begun to swirl in your mind but you're still looking for a focus, this site has a wealth of information and links to modern engineering works all over America. From the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and Museum to the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona to the Cable Car Museum in San Francisco (complete with info on entry fees, hours of operations and maps for the many sites of interest), all can be explored under the heading of Mechanical Engineering. Check out another division of Engineering and be presented with even more. Even if your holiday intentions are to grow roots beside the nearest body of water and soak up some rays, this site is worth a visit for its "cool facts" and breadth of exposition. http://www.engineeringsights.org/ A.M.
