Length is relative to hardness and age. You must be a youngster if you have to ask.

Give it a half turn every 6 months! It'll keep it straight.

When in the Navy we had a jacking gear that rotated the propeller shaft so the screws didn't bent the shaft. Good idea, keep them shafts turning.

If you wait long enough, it will ooze down to a thin layer of metal that will cover a square mile or so.

Good one, Pete!
Also, if you hang it up in the rafters, it will eventually stretch out into a thin strand of metallic spaghetti!

Anyone have a picture of that giant vertical lathe referenced above?The company had dedicated rail cars to ship these large powerplant components.A vertical lathe that tall would be quite impressive.
