Mechanical analogy

This analogy seems to be rather contrived and superfluous:

A mechanical example of a pipeline is a washer/dryer system for clothing. Instead of having one unit that both washes and dries, we have two units that together form a pipeline (the output of the washer enters the drier). If washing takes 1 hour and drying takes 1 hour, the pipeline allows us to finish a full load of laundry every hour, compared to every 2 hours if you had a single (non-pipelined) unit that washed and then dried. It still requires two hours for an item of clothing to complete its wash/dry cycle of course.

Can this be replaced by a better example of a real mechanical pipeline? Anyway, perhaps it should fit better in an article "Mechanical pipeline"?

Explain example

fetch -o - http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Pipeline |
sed 's/[^a-zA-Z]/

tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' |
sort -u |
comm -23 - /usr/share/dict/web2

Could the steps be explained briefly? Is it not better to combine the 2nd and 3rd line? - Patrick 10:36 Mar 1, 2003 (UTC)

Art pipeline

Perhaps it makes sense to add item Art pipeline to the article (Special:Diff/871134424). 87.241.196.145 (talk) 05:36, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
