perhaps it was just that particular MODEL....which was built about the time I was born.

I specifically remember directing the crew that cut the unit up and scrapped it under the direction of a fellow from Exxon who had done the same thing at 2 other locations....because they were too dangerous to continue to operate.

Years back we machined hardened steel and were required to test for hydrogen embrittlement by using a nitric acid bath.
Any “damaged” areas would show as bright specks.

I usually cook parts out on the gas grill, it keeps me from having to sleep on the couch...
