Of course the
implication is that the disk was sandblasted in normal use,
which appears to be absurd.
THAT is the "particular bit of silliness" to which I referred. Hmmm. on
the head carriage there would be an extra nozzle assembly to sand blast?
And maybe a vacuum sand recovery system for reuse?

You have to have the recovery system in order to meet EPA standards --- you
can't just blow all that sand out the back door, you know. After all, sand
might pollute the environment ;>) Particularly if you live near the seaside ;-)
OB_OT: State of Minnesota v Reserve Mining Corp. (dicharging wet rock on
the shore of Lake Superior) A LOT of wet rock (67,000 tons per day),
which in a few thousand years would make a 1% change in the lake size.
The state felt that due to the larger mass, that it was more important
than the lack of a working sewage treatment plant in Duluth. To the
extent that the state misrepresented the data to close Reserve.
The vacuum recovery system is also needed to reduce the amount of sand in
the bearings, and sand being dragged over the surface by the heads.
