Randomizer is it.

apart from the G2's which were quite good, i don't understand how one can use the two words correlation box and Bell 47 in the same sentence.

especially when one worked for a dude who reckoned that correlation cams, throttle shaft unis and slides were a waste of money and real pilots didn't need 'em as brand new every second day of the week, which always somehow rolled into years. They - cost too much money - or some other flippant excuse.

engineers were judged as being good; if they were an ace on the mystical secret business that went on inside the throttle box, or cam box as we called them at times.

then of course there was the secret 47 business all about the blue nut, that was issued in hushed whispers, just to help out with the power now and then, but could easily account for 45" if not careful.

but now we have this idiot turnout on the Robinson's which on a gusty day sends a 3" surge through the drive system every 2 - 3 seconds. turn it off and things are steady.
