FoT:

Is Kip Lankenau of Kip Motors a candidate for replication of these floats? He 
has done some remarkable things with other parts. People are turning to him 
for a variety of parts, instead of carrying around more of the same junk as 
spares.

Strong BMTA member. Jack & I have visited Kip's facilities. Cool!  

It's in his genes.

This is under the heading of "Supplier Development".  We had that program at 
John Deere. Instead of beating up on suppliers, candidate companies were 
selected on the basis of their ability to communicate and meet the quality needs of 
Deere & Company.
