Well, if the pencil pushers mandated all that fuss, I'm sorry for you. I
don't give a rat's ass about those things, though, just as long as they
solder well and reliably, which they do, much better than the Wellers.


Sigh.


I don't tell my assemblers what temperature to use or which tip to use or
which diameter solder to use for a particular job. The only thing I care
about is keeping the lead-free jobs separate.


We were building high end telemetry equipment which demanded high
standards, not cheap consumer ****. A failed piece of equipment could
cost a lot of lives, or require a round trip from space to the factory
along with finding room as payload for a return to orbit. Also, would
YOU like to be downrange if one of our missile 'command destruct
receivers' failed to destroy an out of control missile?
