First rule when your in a hole......stop digging. Yall ain't making the case for engineers. Wollered out cranks and flywheels, fires etc. Holy Hell!!!
That's how you learn fellers. Nothing beats a combination of higher education and extensive, practical experience.
I have had, on occasion, the desire to literally stomp a mud hole is some industrial engineer's ass for what I thought was a interestingly stupid design. Mostly having to do with modern automotive design. |
I know the feeling. Previous company I worked for hired an IE fresh out of school. She was taught that inventories of spare parts costs money, so she had the maintenance department purge stock. Guess what happened when a machine built in 1945 broke down. Yep, no parts on hand to fix it. Was down for a month or so. |

That sounds familiar.......I worked for a supply company who hired a "Process Engineer" from Texas A&M who decided they needed 3 level warehouse shelving instead of the 2 they had and after they got the new racks in they found out the entire 100,00 square foot warehouse had to be revamped for lighting. Also the fork lifts they had were not capable of stacking and removing pallets that high. They got in trouble with the fire department for some other issues caused by what this person did. Those dry fire systems are as expensive as shit!!!!!!
Total cluster foxtrot. The owner was pissed about all the money being spent on this boondoggle. _________________ '69 Karmy, '69 Camper, Meyers clone, '65 drag bug, 10.78 @ 128 (sold it) '51 Dodge farm truck,
