Intemperance...

Sign me up! I LOVE Scotch!

What the hell is that?
Here we have the inside of an intake manifold and a head for an automobile engine. I can without reservation, bet either one is more costly than your car.... even at MSRP.

from the intake manifold picture

so, it's oriented right side up, it's a v8, we can't see the fourth cylinder intake for the right hand bank, out of the field of view of the camera. the openings in the upper/roof part lead to gently downward curving tubes to the opposite side/bank for the.. the. I'm lost. I would have called the next part the intake manifold. Where do the intakes connect to on their downstream end? Not the top part of the head, a picture of which you've show us in the second image. Something between that head and the cylinder.

Yeah, I'm gonna look it up.

it is the head. But the side of the head, not visible in the example picture you posted. That makes sense. Clean, fuel rich air enters the SIDE of the head, flowing past the intake valve stem, then down into the cylinder, boom, then up and back out the other side of the head past the exhaust valve, past the valve stem, then into the exhaust headers. They're hot by the way.

Go on, ask me how I know.

Ya read about it?

No, Glatt told him.

All intake manifolds attach to the side of the head or heads. They carry air, sometimes compressed, sometimes laden with fuel vapor, to the heads intake ports. The bottom rounded vee part of the intake manifold is the valley pan sealing the top of the vee on a V-8 engine.
The other side of the head is for exhausting the stuff that kills babies and kittens.
The top of the head is reserved for valves and the shit to open/close them, in an overhead valve engine. The exotic layout of the valves and open/close shit, is the reason for that second picture.
The two pictures are not related, now get off my lawn ya whippersnapper. :crone:

The early cable.

How many channels could ya get with that?

It's a LOT bigger than my cable, and I get like 200 channels.

I see Rose has a type.

In the '60s the detectors were perched on telegraph poles to detect nuke bomb blasts and warn the military. it worked pretty well until a glitch in one of the telegraph relays gave a false alarm that almost started WW III. The military decided they needed a better system which resulted in ARPANET, mother of the Internet.

Um... no, bad plumber, bad.
