In April 1950 Bill Moog (cousin of Robert Moog, inventor of the Moog synthesizer) applied for a patent for the electrohydraulic servo valve (later called a "Moog Valve"), a device to control hydraulic pressure for fine control of actuators. The US patent 2625136 was issued in January 1953. Bill Moog died in 1997 aged 82.
Moog worked on the B-2 Bomber and was responsible for the flight control actuation system. Moog also contributed to the manufacture of flight simulators. Moog's design was adapted to form the Spider-Man ride at Universal Studios adventure theme park. Moog also worked on several space contracts and designed part of the liquid rocket engine propulsion systems on the Voyager space probes and provided thruster valves that steered the spacecraft. Moog also made servoactuators for four Space Shuttles.
Don`t get me wrong I`m almost happy now It can`t take too long
I know that grin You wanna have it all But you can`t win
It`s 5 am Another cigarette Or drink won`t change that
Let`s just sit back And think of the things I should`ve asked
No I can`t say no I can`t say no You can`t say yes, you can`t say yes You love this mess No I can`t say no I can`t say no You can`t say yes, you can`t say yes You won`t confess
Walking home alone Every step I take Is a pin to a bone
The wind blows out Every memory Of my bound shouts
A torn tissue In my left pocket Shows the real you
The city lights Growing dim without Asking the night
