When this design was complete, a meeting was held. Attendees included
representatives from design engineering, marketing, product safety,
component and evaluation engineering, and others. Only by consensus of
this group was the milestone declared to have been completed.


apart from Tek and certain others which Roy describes, I believe that
some economists look at the balance between number of components used
and trade-off in production, so much more equipment would pass the
control if certain components were added.

What I actually meant, but perhaps didn't fully express was that you
may study the circuit diagrams and have a feeling which manufacturer
has designed it, they follow certain techniques and technical
management.

On the other hand one may experience that HP and Tek uses some extra
components which are difficult for the average constructor to explain
or understand the function for, and one may experience that even among
the amateurs somebody manage some technique which almost nobody else
can copy - not even very experienced persons, may I mention SM5BZR
Leif's techniques, it is many constructions, they may look so easy,
but one often need some more deeper understanding to succeed, what
say's G3SEK?
