[ARC5] More on the TS-306/ARW

[Peter Gottlieb]

I have gear which is similarly built.  Despite zero use, I simply don't have the

There were a lot of un-named engineers who took a lot of pride, and really cared 
about, what they did.  And companies which let them be that way, and built what 
they designed.
