Re Push - n - Go
Don,
I think we’ve finally satisfied H and S. They’ve given us a preliminary certificate of worthiness on the P -n - G. You can see the pre production prototype any time in the lab. If you give me a bell I’ll set up a demo for you.
(We are way over the development budget of course. I shall be putting through an overspend authorisation for another 15k. Hope that isn’t a problem).
Unit cost is up a bit too, I’m afraid. We should be able to come in under the £100 (just) as long as we can freeze the design now.
We had to move away from the rods, by the way. Purchasing couldn’t meet the spec for any half reasonable price. We’re using steel cables now with a plastic sheath. Doesn’t look quite so good, but saves us about £1.50 on each unit.
Let me know when you want to come over.
