A8 A/C outlet - Wow!

["Graydon D. Stuckey" <graydon@apollo.gmi.edu>]

Hey guys,

	I'll make this short since it might not (likely won't) interest 
very many.

	I have a centre A/C outlet from an A8 here on my desk.  WHAT A 
PIECES PART!!  (Scott...  How's that?)

	This assembly for one A/C outlet has more parts than all of our 
Cadillac outlets combined!  It has the following;

	Triple outlet, with separate on/off flaps ofr the left/centre and right
	Hot/Cold potentiometer control for temp control
	Potentiometer on the on/off flapper control wheels, to tell the 
ECU the flappers' positions
	Light bulb to supply a fibre optic system.  Used to light up 
every knob and and indicator on the entire outlet
	Wiring harness to supply power, and take potentiometer signals 
back to ECU
	Vanes in outlet are very thin, to reduce noise and restriction

	All this, and it works like a swiss watch!
