Summary

COI synopsis: Stress can be an insidious destructive force on man and on machine. Alleviating it can prevent accidents, or help to preserve equipment - or even tempers! Taps that drip in the night are one of the smaller, but most insistent forms of stress. Now the common tap has been redesigned so that it can never drip. It provides the last bit of turn-off by itself.
