[PSUBS-MAILIST] I am not a dork

[Alan James]

Hank,
can you mount a wedge somewhere so you can push the manipulator grippers up against
it to wedge them open? Or have a compression spring temporarily mounted across the grippers?
   You could hang some plastic fish from the garage roof  to add a bit of realism.
Alan

Hey, she's a banker. It's all black or white with them. Except for the ones with mad manibubators in the shop out back, one supposes.

The only problem is, Gamma's manipulator has a power only to close gripper.  The gripper opens with outside water pressure pushing against it.  So I have to jump out of the sub to open the gripper each time.  I was trying to explain this to my wife and she replied "can't you just put it in a pail of water"  I am still laughing inside of coarse :-)

You're right: you gotta have the right sounds.  I have a friend who used 
to sit in the incomplete fuselage of his biplane in his garage, making 
airplane-engine noises.
