[Ads-l] Stovepipe, v

[Bill Mullins]

It shows up clearly in the archives, but here's another attempt, from another account.

********************************************************
Don't quite know what you are getting at here.  "Stovepipe" as a verb has (at least) a couple different meanings.

1.  When a semi-automatic firearm catches a round (or spent brass) in its action and jams.

_Tustin [CA] News_ 28 Jun 1979 p 2 col 3 "Thayer told the Council that one officer was involved in a shooting incident when his weapon fired one round and then "stovepiped," or jammed." 

_St. Louis [MO] Dispatch_ 24 Nov 2015
"Sources say Saddler's gun "stovepiped" after the one shot, meaning a spent shell casing did not eject from the chamber to allow another round to enter."




2. To route, within an organization, upwards through the management hierarchy rather than sharing across peer levels.  (OED has the noun form of this sense to 1982).

Hill AFB Utah _Hill Top Times_ 11 Jun 1992 p 7 col 2 " "We've also reorganized in a very substantial way, the overseas commands, PACAF (Pacific Air Forces) and USAFE (U.S. Air Forces in Europe), to pull into those commands airlift, tankers and those functions that used to be stove-piped out to commanders outside the theater," McPeak said."

_Los Angeles Times_ 24 Jun 2004 p A11 col 6 "It also reviews the role of independent intelligence "cells" set up at the Pentagon to review raw intelligence and to "stovepipe" the information directly to policy makers."

_Asheville [NC] Citizen-Times_, 2 Jul 2005 p A7 col 3 "With this procedural change, all data gathered by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was stovepiped directly to the Office of Special Plans (OSP), as was most of the date from the State Department."
