it seems, yeah.

from what I understand of the narrator speaking, it's done to incease the thrust generated by the engine.

Thanks.

Possible inspiration for the Manehatten Crater Memorial to the Victims of War [the Great War, the Bitter War, and any conflicts since then] => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_to_the_Murdered_Jews_of_Europe

[O. Hinds]

Oh, that does look similar; thanks.

[Harmony Ltd.]

although it wouldn't be so compact, it'd probably be more like stone columns where the names would be inscribed, and there'd be park-like greenery between them.

But this gives an idea of the, let's say, general feel it could evoke.

[O. Hinds]

The old design had columns, yeah. I don't recall what it had for greenery, though.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Lawns, flowers, bushes. Probably some trees being planted here and there as well. Basically, a park.

[O. Hinds]

This is increasing the space between the columns from the previous design?

[Harmony Ltd.]

Yeah, but iirc I had said the columns would be increased in size, such that there could be something like 10 thousand names per columns. Like, each of the "columns" would count as a monument in themselves.

Also, unrelated, and this is about the original Fallout, apparently here's one of the Old World Blues endings that has been cut from the final release:

Spoiler:

Puts in perspective just how awful the Think Tank actually is, behind all the layers of humor we see them through.

[O. Hinds]

Ah, I'm afraid that I didn't remember that.

Aye, I've seen that. Between that and what one of the non-cut endings says about the weaponry stored there, someone who can control Big Mountain while being sane enough to use its resources properly... well, unless China had something similar, they might be the most powerful person on the planet.
(I'm not sure how this is about the original Fallout, though, I'm afraid.)

[Harmony Ltd.]

(the original Fallout as in the general Fallout games canon, not Fallout 1)

But yeah. Is this this the kind of Mad Science we can expect from Profectum?

[O. Hinds]

Ah, okay; thanks.

Oh, no, they're far more sane and restrained than that. And while maybe some of the ghoul scientists might get some somewhat, ah, unique ideas, they've a lot of other people to keep them from doing crazy things.

High performance steam engine

Since fuel delivery to the circling combustion chamber (the red round piece located on top of the engine) is automatically regulated, the driver opens a valve that controls the flow of steam to the piston engine to increase power to the wheels. Since this is a steam engine, no radiator, transmission, or clutch is required—the wheels are directly connected to the crankshaft with a 90-degree gearbox and a belt.

[O. Hinds]

Ooh, very neat! Thanks.
Though I'm not seeing the text you quoted in there... strange.

[Harmony Ltd.]

The text is from the slideshow, commenting the CGI model of the vehicle the engine is to be mounted on.

[O. Hinds]

Ah, thanks.
