I don't believe at this time. after making the first sketch, that he would have made this mistake as there is not enought surface to force the paddle to open with any reasonable oil pressure even if the Castor Oil were at it's worst. The opening would have to be about 300 lbs.p.s.i. to do this. He may have made mistakes but I doubt this was one of them.
