Dick,
That's just one reason that I deal exclusively with Stroud on my safety
stuff. Other reasons include professional failure analysis and corrective
action, design analysis and recommendations. Not to mention excellent
product quality and the fact that his products do EXACTLY what he says that
they will do!
It's a shame that he isn't consulted when serious problems arise at
Bonneville.......accidents for instance.....
Skip (Of course I don't have an opinion on this subject.....)
