Talk:Muscular hydrostat

message: Do a spider's legs qualify as muscular hydrostats?  Fluid pressure is involved in their movement, but they are covered in a rigid exoskeleton rather than being "tubes made of muscle".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.159.45 (talk) 08:16, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

message: This article and the Hydrostatic skeleton article state that "muscular hydrostat" and "hydrostatic skeleton" refer to similar but distinct concepts.  However, the article on the role of skin in locomotion states that a muscular hydrostat is a type of hydrostatic skeleton.  Does anyone know which usage is correct or more commonly used?  I'm not familiar with the relevant literature, myself.  Augurar (talk) 10:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In a sense, a muscular hydrostat is a type of hydrostatic skeleton.  A hydrostatic skeleton is any system where structural support is provided by fluid pressure, including the fluid within a muscle.  Muscular hydrostats are just a special case that crops up quite frequently. HCA (talk) 22:09, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Near the end of the article, this sentence does not seem to make sense:
"The length of the helical fiber is at a minimum when the fiber angle equals 54°44′ and is at maximum length when the fiber angle approaches 0° and 90°."
If we consider the length of the helical fiber as a function of its crossing angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, surely this function has a minimum (not a maximum) at 0 or 90 degrees.  Presumably the maximum of the function occurs at the indicated value of 54°44′.  Moreover I checked the article cited for this sentence, and found nothing relevant to this question (though the article is quite interesting).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.34.171.34 (talk) 18:51, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Ottavio Bottecchia

message: The placement of the bit which mentions this - "Despite his anti-fascist convictions, he joined the bersaglieri during the First World War." This can seem a bit misleading since one has little to do with the other - his anti-fascist convictions could not come into play in regard to his service, since prior to the war Fascism didn't exist. Benito Mussolini was a Socialist during his tenure in the military - socialist proclivities were not quite as much of a factor in that war (though iirc Italian Socialist groups were against the war in certain times) as they would be for Italy afterwards. 2601:87:4400:AF2:84D7:679C:1DA0:C7F6 (talk) 19:09, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:616 film

message: When mentioning the 620 film, should not mention be made of it's companion spools of 120 film? 120 is still in use with paper backing and another number called 220 uses the same spool but uses the paper for leader and trailer only. This allows more room ont he spool for more film to be wound. 120 film allows 12 2.25" square exposures and the 220 roll gives 24 exposures. Not all cameras allow the use of the 220 film because some have a little window through which the frame numbers printed on the paper backing of the 120 size can be read. The window would fog the 220 film as it was pulled past it. ... added at  01:16, 9 November 2006 by Bill 17
:The article was very bizarre, suggesting that 616 (or 116) was popular until the 50s. I don't think it was particularly popular even in the 30s and I've never heard of a postwar camera that takes it. I rewrote accordingly. I've also linked to 120 film. You give one of the reasons why some cameras for 120 can't take 220; there are other reasons too, but anyway this matter is dealt with in 120 film. -- Hoary 11:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Um...I highly, highly doubt that. He is never referred to as "Charlie X" in the episode (just "Charlie Evans"), so the title was probably thought up after the fact. Attaching "X" to the end of anything is a generic way of making something sound more mysterious ("Planet X," "Chemical X," etc). Also, the episode and X-Men have virtually nothing in common (besides the theme of "special powers" and the letter X, the former of which is incredibly common in many Star Trek episodes and other science fiction and the latter is, like I said, a way of making things sound mysterious). -Lamarcus (talk) 04:45, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
