<<RH, WHERE and WHEN did BushyJr make the statements you have attributed to him about "some" of the land grab will not stand? >> I didn't see it in print, saw him say it on Fox news network. <<Consider this...where was the Bretton-Woods Currency Accord implementation schedule prior to the introduction of the ECB and the Euro at the time of the Bush Sr years and early Clinton years? Have you forgotten the TIME Magazine timeline graphic I used to have up on my website regarding the 1942 to 2002 timeline regarding the intro of the EURO and now the Asian Currency Unit is being worked on>> If I remember correctly, EURO started hard push after Clinton was in for 2.5 or so years (though I've never been a great fan of TIME for solid non-biased info). Last I read, (though I've forgotten where) Future fo the Asian Currency Unit(ASU) is Dead!!!!!! China, Japan, & India simply won't come to terms & newer power in Japan has been more pro-gold. I believe it was Alex that posted the article here that Japan was very taken with the work by the new pro-gold Nobel winner. Remember this push for only 3 world currencies is a liberal mantra. It falls behind with the one worlder Clinton. <<What is the difference between a "railroad battery" and say, an 8-D Forklift battery in terms of storage, cold cranking amps, life cycle, amperage, etc?>> I've only have a very limited knowledge of "railroad batteries". Most of those I've seen were used for remote crossing guards, lighting,& such. Some were recharged from solar & some from low voltage spinoff from train communications. They were mostly banks of automotive MANY looking batteries though I suspect they were really more near marine. Think they were 6 volts but not sure. "Fork Lift batteries" on the other hand, are often MASSIVE banks of HUGE cells all tied together. I don't know the "ratings" of either these or the railroad cells, but recall the Raymond's we had were lit with 2 different sizes of batteries with different ratings. One group ran at 48V in low range & 54 in high. I do recall the fork lift aren't rated in "cold cranking amps" because they don't "crank". There was an amperage rating at 72 degrees fwiw. I'll do some digging & PM you with mroe info in next couple of days. I do know, each of the different brands fo fork lifts has its own plan for battery usage, charging, power & life. <<What NASA application made it a mil.spec for electronic gold connectors needing to be made from approximately 60% pure gold (aka 14K) instead of just plated gold?>> This was mostly a thermal application not electrical application for gold. It was (& still is from what I've read) a used to destruction(burned off) part of re-entry heat shield. No, TI parts I was aware of were more electronic in nature. There were these small slide contacts at the gantry "clear" connections as I recall hearing about, but I was really on the military side of the house.
