Somewhere, sometime, I posted on my father's experience as a fitter with Holt's, being sent to do a night watch on a Scott's-Still engined vessel. The old hand passing over the watch, gave him very specific instructions on how to keep the steam system balanced and the alternator running, emphasising to keep the steam gauge "in the blood" as the whole system was very delicately balanced. That was the first time that I had heard the expression "in the blood" (being solely a motor engineer!).
