    Easier to spell than "catasukis" too. I had forgotten that old Lockheed term until reading the last few posts. Pronounce as if it were Japanese. ;)

    If your yard, or a spur, happens to be on an incline, you might find one of these unusual wheel stops. It is designed to keep a car from rolling back down the incline. I imagine it would be a little rough on the cargo, however.

    When I was in the Army, we used to use the
    term "Strobitz" (short O) for that purpose.

    "Gribblies" is the name motion picture special effects modelers and art designers use to refer little technical looking detail put all over the surface of a starship, space station etc. Doesn't represent anything in particular, just makes it look complicated and high tech.
