All,

I was showing my father a video tape of my 6 inch
system running and he asked about what the exact
mechanism is that creates the sounds the streamers
make.  I thought about it for a while, but wasn't able
to give a satisfactory answer.  It's funny, if he had
asked me about quenching, ringups, or resonance I
would have talked for an hour.  It's just those basic
questions of scientific curiosity that can sometimes
leave us stumped.  Maybe Paul (Nicholson), will have
something to say here.  Terry?  Anyone?  Thanks.
