This is John Rauschkolb (Robin's Uncle) and the Chairman of the Joint

Chiefs

of Staff taken by me at the Punch Bowl ceremony yesterday.
John was a First Class Signalman on the bridge of the West Virginia
when it was attacked. John was four feet away when the Captain was killed
by shrapnel.

I will assume that Robin is some sort of GIB.  I took my wife to the punch
bowl as  part of  the two weeks we spent in Hawaii celebrating 30 years of
wedded bliss. Or at least wedded.

Dumb question, what is the swirl pot?  I know so little that I did not see
what I would think of  a pot that something could swirl in in the great
photo of  ?????

A swirl pot is designed to separate the air from the coolant.
The propane bottle is used as a swirl pot in this illustration.
This is a bit overkill for most applications and the filler cap
on the propane bottle could be a pressure cap eliminating
RX2/2RX3 bottle IMHO.
