speech only?"

Which is the problem we face when writing explanations in text-only r.c.m.

I'm by nature a visual learner and have difficulty reducing multidimensional
concepts to linear text, so I practice here. Scientists and engineers
explain things to each other by sketching and are nearly helpless when they
can't.

At a Mensa meeting the speaker dropped into a boring monotone and then
suddenly said ELEPHANT, and asked us what immediately came to mind. Everyone
but me reported either the word or an image. I was the only one who saw
both, a captioned color picture of an elephant pulling down a tree branch.

Yeah I'm totally a visual learner*. A exploded view of all my
tractor parts.. (or just the distributor (D)) would be a wonderful
thing. After soaking over night I put some vise grips on the
D's rotating shaft and got it to give a bit.. but it's tight.
I found this oil plug felt, top center of shaft and maybe I can
blow some air down in there?
