Now that everyone has decided (I think) that they may comment on the Swiss
engine, does anyone have any comments on the test?
    Besides my original comment on how pretty their machining is and how
nice it didn't warp, I must ask a non technical question. How do you manage
to get so much beautiful equipment? In this country we have NASA and we
have ERPS, the former being a little better funded ;-). Is your group
equivalent to a Swiss NASA?

Now for some technical questions.
    Do you guys use CAD? Which package? Do you use 3D? For CAD CAM how many
steps between drawing and part? Are there any drawings available?
    Could you describe your shops capabilities? Lathes, mills, welding and
so on.
