[GreenKeys] M28 Stunt Box

[Bruce Gentry]

Do you ever ride elevators or escalators? If so, keep in mind the 
mangement (NOT a mis-spelling!) overseeing and commanding the 
technicians is usually carefully chosen from those who have had NO 
experience in the craft. Profit is ALL that matters, knowledge of the 
craft can lead to ethics which is utterly unacceptable. I can't imagine 
any sort of precision electro-mechanical craft surviving today under 
that kind of system.

of Elevator Constructors
