ENGINEERING PROBLEM
You don't have to be an engineer to appreciate this story.

Procter & Gamble had a problem. They sometimes shipped empty Crest toothpaste boxes without the tube inside. This challenged their perceived quality with the buyers and distributors.

Understanding how important the relationship with them was, the CEO of the company assembled his top people.

They decided to hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem.

The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, and third-parties selected.

Six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution - on time, on budget, and high quality.

Everyone in the project was pleased.

They solved the problem by using a high-tech precision scale that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighed less than it should.

The line would stop, someone would walk over, remove the defective box, and then press another button to re-start the line.

As a result of the new package monitoring process, no empty boxes were being shipped out of the factory.

With no more customer complaints, the CEO felt the $8 million was well spent.

He then reviewed the line statistics report and discovered the number of empty boxes picked up by the scale in the first week was consistent with projections, however, the next three weeks were zero!

The estimated rate should have been at least a dozen boxes a day. He had the engineers check the equipment; they verified the report as accurate.

Puzzled, the CEO travelled down to the factory, viewed the part of the line where the precision scale was installed, and observed just ahead of the new $8 million dollar solution sat a $20 desk fan blowing the empty boxes off the belt and into a bin. He asked the line supervisor what that was about.

"Oh, that" the supervisor replied "Bert, the kid from maintenance, put it there because he was tired of walking over, removing the box and re-starting the line every time the bell rang".

We use both lol

Scale is about 30-40,000$, good for about 200 per minute usually has a blow off and reject bin for quality to count, track trend. Really good at partial fills

Up steam we have a few air blasts for the pure empty stuff.

The really automated guys also weigh the case of product at the very end.

And yet there are times that a totally empty bottle passes every f’ing machine and still makes out the door.
 
So what brand of magazine is that in her weapon? What is the gadget on the front of the magazine?

What is the red labeling underneath her trigger finger for? Speaking of triggers; what brand is it?

She's probably like the rest of us. We spend so much money on guns and ammo that we can't afford to buy decent clothes after our old garments get holes and are ragged.
I am a couple pages behind, so maybe this has been answered.


The gadget in front of the magazine I am not sure unless you are talking about the bolt and lock plate for the forearm.

the gun is completely skeletonized so the red you are seeing is the body of the drop in trigger.
Eltmann are red.

Yes, this was explained several posts ago. When I looked at the photo, it didn't look like a drum magazine.

It looked like a straight magazine and the apparatus didn't make sense as I was under the assumption that it was a straight magazine.

I am not to keen on skeletonized magazines. I think that setup is ripe for all sorts of dirt and debris to get into the magazine.

Just like Democrats
 
About that skeleton AR.

With the upper/ bolt carrier being that open:

I’m guessing reliability is out the window in adverse conditions?

Would you get some hot gas seeking out under recoil?

Thanks

Adverse conditions will take down a lot of cool/fancy toys especially when reliability is sacrificed for looks/weight/ergonomics.

I don’t have to give a reason to term your ass. It’s pretty simple.
Kinda goes like this: I appreciate everything you’ve done but your services are no longer needed. Good luck and god speed in all your further ventures.
This gentleman you are arguing with sounds like a union steward. I have managed Union shops, they have their own rules and regulations. Some of them, unions, are okay most are toxic.
