RE: Ball valve history

I did a quick search using my standard search engine and came up with a number of articles that spoke to the history of how the ball valve was developed. Some of the articles were very interesting.

I wrote an article on this subject for "Valve Magazine". It was called "The Great Teflon War". The magazine is available for free download at www.valvemagazine.com.
