I think that means it samples *over* a second -- counts the pulses in a
second then computes pulses per second, thence RPMs.

I wonder what they use in steel mills? (hehe).
I don't think the steel melted per say, it really just softened and
sagged. The tensile strength of the bolts holding the sections
together dropped somewhat, and they failed, dropping the section.

Unless my memory is somewhat worse than I think, that bridge has
exposed steel beams underneath with a concrete deck (it's been quite a

So I have been having this strange problem with the blower motor on my 1987

Well I know I have replaced the blower motor on that car and it was under
100k miles ago.
The normal symptoms of a blower motor is that it stops due to worn brushes.
Then if you kick it, the motor starts again. In my case the motor still
turns also the voltage to motor drops when it slows down,
Still sounds like a blower motor to me but I could be wrong.

It looks like the only thing i can do for you is a tan door liner

The speaker grille appears to be covered with vinyl after the fact.
There is no RH mirror. I do have 123 mirrors. They might work.

I would be more concerned about fuel sloshing out. While not as
