This Insight is a simple model of a sluggish shower, the classic example from Systems Thinking of a balance loop with delay. It illustrates the sometimes baffling influence that time delays can have on simple decision making tasks.
This model of a single simple shower is based on a 1994 paper by John Morecroft et al of the London Business School. It is used to show the impact of delay on control of a simple system.
Creates a pulse input at the specified time with the specified Height and Width. Height defaults to 1 and Width defaults to 0. Repeat is optional and will create a pulse train with the specified time if positive..

A Conveyor is essentially an infinite order exponential delay. This insight illustrates how increasing the order of an exponential delay begins to approximate a conveyor. The 10th order delay very closely aligns to the Delay 10 Conveyor.
