“Exhaust Gauses”
Interesting typo. Would have been truly interesting if it read “Exhaust Gausses” (see both Carl Friedrich Gauss and Gauss, the unit of flux density named after him). I’m sure Al (Reynolds) will be amused, as well.
Hah! Great catch. 🙂 Thanks, Jetse.
Thanks very much for the linkage, Charles!
