[Collins] Re:- Collins Meter Needles

[David Knepper]

It certainly is nice to know that there are so many of you out there that
actually reads my postings!

Someday, when I hit the lottery, I am going to charter a jet to bring all of
you to the Collins Radio Center so all of us can sit around demonstrating
our Collins expertise by picking out these nuances in Collins manufacturing,
such as comparing meter needles, "eyebrows," shades and texture of the paint
on the older Collins (Saint James Gray), etc.

Jim, you can be the ultimate judge in determining the winner.  The winner
will take home a 75A-4.
