The font size must mean I got your attention. Good.

As to point #1. I'm not surprised, the arctic is a cruel and demanding environment. I spent a third of my career there. In the end I wrote procedures. Some people hate the detail and the demands of methodology. I was born for it. I'm sure you've written your share.

Procedure review, or SOC as we called them at Alyeska, is a tough place to make things up as you go along. Somebody gonna getcha. I would estimate that 90% of the struggle is learning to get along.

As to point #2, Unless I'm very badly mistaken it is your assertion about draining alnico before recharge that got most of the hot air going. It is relevant in so far as a slot car motor, paramount, is not a complex acoustic driver motor. If I understood your posts, you did disassemble the motors completely before recharge. The construction of the Altec motor is not designed that way. You're an engineer; you know better.

And finally, I have no interest in kicking the shit out of anyone, but my post for a slow down in the rhetoric said NOTHING about sweeping things under the rug. It said simply, let's slow down and think about this. Let's find out what the procedure is. Let's not make it up as we go along. That's how people get hurt.

You and I would not make best friends GM, but we can be civil neighbors.

Sincerely
Dan
