"Bottom line: it would be nice to get 1. A measure of surface temperature of the foil after 45 minute warm up compared to surface temperature of the fiberglass wrap. 2. Ambient temperature in both types of machines, and 3. A two year follow up that provides some evidence of reduced brittle plastic and component failure in the machines that try it."
Len, can you do this? -- Thank you for @29pco's great year: http://www.29.io/blog/exciting_2013_and_hopes_for_2014 (646) 244-9910 On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 12:02 PM, KittJohnson <[email protected]> wrote: > Excuse me guys, but I think I need a little clarification.
