Full record for inertial damping n.

OED requirements	any evidence 1987
Earliest cite	Greg Bear, "Eon"
Comment	Ralf Brown suggested cites from an etext of Greg Bear's "Eon" and Malcolm Farmer supplied the cites from a printed copy. Ralf Brown also located a probable cite in an etext of Peter F. Hamilton's "Pandora's Star" (in chapter 8): we would like to see a cite from a printed copy of this (or any other work).

1987 G. Bear Eon 390

It would take over a day to approach that velocity, accelerating at about three hundred g's—which is very close to the theoretical limit for the inertial damping systems, and for something as large as the Axis City, traveling on the flaw.
