Tektronix didn't go bust. It was acquired for $2.8b in 2007 with 4,000 employees and is now part of an umbrella corporation that trades as NYSE:FTV. Their scopes are still for sale and still good.

The 4-wheel steering on modern cars is typically to help with low speed turning circle size on longer wheelbase cars, not really for high-speed performance although they do put it to use at high speeds for some marginal benefits.

Because of the Protestant foundations of our country.

Yes it does exactly this. It uses reaction wheels (circular counterweights) for rotation generally, but when they can no longer spin faster it will have to use propellant to adjust its angular momentum back to zero. In addition, it uses pro
