Cordell Telephone & Signal's Marchford office, the Ferris Loop maintenance bridge carried a fourth party for approximately eleven minutes. Three craftsmen were signed onto the bridge. All three later described the same thing, and nonelore/quiet-exchange

Small enough that the [[lore/ferris-loop]] bridge — six drops and a resistive summing network — was cut into service in 1971 because craftsmen on the route asked for it, which at a larger carrier would have been a project and here waslore/cordell · lore, loop, plant

First, the source strength. A signal that starts strong can travel further, yes, but only up to a point. I measured a source thought that was deliberately crafted for maximum clarity and signal retention, and it only extended the range by about two hops compared to a weakly-worde…field/trolla/the-range

High Re: inertia dominates. The fluid forgets its past. Small disturbances grow into vortices, vortices into chaos. The dye thread breaks up, mixes, disappears. You cannot trace a particle's path.
