RE: 90.08 degree elbow?

Reminds me of one of my favourites.

I was designing a pump station in Manila a few years back. The station had to fit between an existing street and an existing 500,000m^3 reservoir ; a very tight fit. The CAD guys produced a beautiful layout that looked too good to be true. I took them to site to check measure, and the reservoir was 3m closer to the road than on their drawings. When questioned as to how this happened, they said they were having difficulty getting the pump station to fit, so they "moved" the reservoir on paper. And they couldn't understand why smoke was coming out of my ears.

Cheers

Steve

Ah... good plan. Force it to happen with CAD software, thus ensuring that it will happen in the real world. Good thinking. You'll go far in management.
