[Tigers] Fw: New technology Extremely cool PA

Duke, Tony, and Tigers,

I am confused.  Why are there messages about "chipping in to develop the 
product"?

It has already been developed.  In fact 3 different devices were shown.  
It was originally built for the Aerospace and Aircraft industries as 
funded by the government. As was N.C.E..

Patents are issued, but there is always room for improvement - which 
will happen if there is demand at the price.

At present, it's size limits the capacity for reproduction as well as 
the size of the product.  Cast product is just not as strong as exotic 
materials, so applicability is limited - unlike Numerically Controlled 
Equipment.

I guess if you are Leno, you can afford to have steam engine Doble parts 
made.

Cast grills can still be cast much cheaper (with a suitable original for 
the mold manufacture. The Mk II headlight rims are the same ones used on 
the S IV late Alpines, the Hillman, and various other Rootes cars, so 
again obtainable and relatively easy to reproduce the casting with 
normal equipment.

I have even made an investment casting of silver of the MG-TC wire wheel 
from the great Entex model kit.  Of course the original plastic wheel 
was destroyed in the process.  Well, back then these kits were in large 
supply at Toys-R-Us for $9.00.
