Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Carsten: Question about a German word

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuss)]

"Turm" was the name for the sail. 
And means the same as the "Turm" on a 
castle or a church or even a lighthouse. 

Euronauts crew has a first meeting this weekend. 
All seven together for the first time. 
We will go scuba diving on a 180 foot deep lake to test
or new rebreathers. All we will test the lockout chamber 
on the Euronaut up to about 180 foot equal pressure.

Why to hell I learn the old units - metric is the standard ??? 

Best regards Carsten
