Corby thank you. Nice high resolution pictures. Unfortunately it has me scratching my head even further. I understood the cesium reservoir and how they puncture the disk to release the cesium. Below that must be the actual oven reservoir that creates the stream. Unless the lineups backwards. I would think the little tip object would be deeper. I thought the screens held the cesium. My first time ever seeing this level of detail.
