[Milsurplus] Black paint/white paint

[Ralph Cameron]

Paint reminds me of the U.S. Navy contract to buy Tek scopes painted 
white- Tek refused to deviate from their standard blue  so the gov't 
awarded contracts to Hiicock and Lavoie. Both contractors copied the Tek 
scopes including some spare holes that found their way into the chassis. 
Tek sued and many years later the gov't paid $7million compensation for 
patent infringement. Past history now and I am sure there3 have been 
many similar procurement blips.
