I happened to be watching the end of "The Spy Who Loved Me" last
night...and noticed when Bond and B. Bach use Stromberg's escape capsule, that
there was a clear camera shot of the capsule depth guage showing the capsule
ascending...the depth guage was a Smith's guage...could have been a tachometer
out of a british car, but for the depth numbers. Now, one might think that a
supposedly brilliant(but flawed) villain might choose something slightly more
reliable for an important guage. I don't think he chose Smiths out of
patriotism.
(more likely that Smiths paid for the promo)

"assembly is the reverse of disassembly" is "Like buying house plans that say,
Building your new home is the reverse of blowing it up with dynamite."
