"...engine blocks being prepped for machining by
sticking a bunch of them in some kind of sonic machine

Dan, I think the company name is/was Metalax. Good for
arthritis and bursitis too (no kidding!). I have a
funny story to tell about Metalax at one of the early
PRI shows. It had to do with a chap who rested his
aching foot and knee on a block being prepared by
Metalax. By the end of the salesman's dog and pony
show, the guy, in his amazement, walked away from the
demonstration, pain free (for a while anyway).
