When the Chief or the 2nd ask you to adjust valve a smidgen, you didn't query it and ask, do you mean gnats whisker or a gnats cock or maybe just a small tweak, were they all the same measurement? I don't know, maybe gnats whisker is smaller than a smidgen and bigger than a tweak? but thinking about it maybe gnats cock was the biggest. (depending on how the gnat felt at the time !) But whatever term we chose always seemed to the right amount. Andy
