If there are no confidentiality issues I'd be willing to try opening

but not installed.



Sadly, there is. I remember signing a bunch of papers saying keep our proprietary info to
yourself and your creative thoughts are ours even though we didn't hire you to think any
further than fixing a machine.

I do thank you for the very kind offer.


I put in a request to the design firm that built the cell to provide me with proper data.
I *think* we are on good terms though they lost their *ss on this project.

They (we) always say that. I'm in the middle of losing my ass 7 days a
week for the next six weeks so I don't have too work to hard for the
rest of the summer. g


Good for you but I'm pretty sure the automation firm did lose their butt on this one. They
were way late with a penalty clause. Since they do a lot of business with other facilites
in the corporate umbrella, they just had to suck it up a bit.
