    If not please ask questions. I am trying to paraphrase
    so ordinary mortals (non-engineers) can understand it :)

    UGH!

    My first engineering job out of college was at the Corning R & D
    Facilities in Corning, NY.  There were 200- 300 people on the
    technical staff from PHD's to  techs. The management apparently  was
    having difficulty with communication and brought in an expert  for a
    two day MANDATORY  seminar.  To say the least, it greatly  influenced
    my writting skills.

    Fifty years later three things still stand out in my mind.

    1.  Write to express, not to impress.

    2.  Know the lowest comprehension level of all your readers and
    write to him.  (he may be your supervisors boss who is reviewing
    your promotion,)

    3.  You don't have to fill a full page to tell people to turn off
    the bathroom light when leaving.

    Did I keep this under a full page?

Yes.
