   Actually, regulators for the B36 and B55
   airplanes are behind co-pilot side of
   instrument panel.

   I recalled having a photo of that installation.
   Dug around in the 'archives'. Found a 640x480
   image captured by the very first digital camera
   I owned . . . paid about $600 for it as I
   recall. It would shoot about 20 images onto
   a 3-1/2" floppy. Anyhow, found the picture.
   The lighting was too poor to produce a useful
   image. Image sensors have come a long way
   baby!

   Don't think there was a driving concern
   for regulator location other than cost
   of ownership. Under the hood was the
   obvious for optimal expense and ease
   of maintenance. Of course, regulators
   nowadays are built right into the alternators.

   Rectifier/regulators are a special breed
   given their internally generated heat.
   So lacking environmental DATA (numbers)
   for a proposed location, one might want
   to err on the side of caution.


   Bob . . .

   Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
   survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
   out of that stuff?"
