We have some 24-inch diameter sterilizers in the field right now, and that would probably be the one size sterilizer that we'd build.
Most manufacturers have no idea how bad the environment is out there.
The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece. That's a big savings. You maybe don't have to bring along as many generators. You don't burn as much fuel.
It was pretty fun. I'd try it again definitely.
The characters attend a lot of balls in the book so this made the book more interesting. It's been the most confusing book I've read for a long time. I don't understand the time period or the customs.
