That old timer knew friction losses better than most engineers with college degrees.

You ever try to explain to a young engineer why you need to overshoot a pump curve by 15% on a long run of 2-inch pipe? They look at you like you're speaking a dead language. I learned that the hard way after a job where the books said one thing but the valves kept chattering until I adjusted on site.
