Bill, I am having a hard time visualizing this. Like, most of us, I
suspect, I have never seen such a "bell". To me, "100% spherical" would
not allow for an inlet or an outlet, which is absurd. I presume you mean
"except for the inlet and outlet, 100% spherical." Are the holes the same
size? Rounded corners?
