One story to interest you from a colleague in another field, he works for a company that manufacturers very specific kit and supplies for a certain process, he is very good at what he does. His company entertained visitors from (you guessed it) China.
Showed them the production, the equipment the processes, a little later, alot of patents were submitted for their products, turns out the Chinese had ransacked them using hidden cams , stolen their ideas and then patented them (apparently not protected, and would it bother the Chinese if they were??).
Probably a lot of half truths in there, but assuming that, who was the idiot?
Just a funny random one I heard. ____________________ Honda Varadero >> Triumph Speed Four >> Honda CBR1100xx |

Britain's new aircraft carriers are over twice the size of the Spanish carrier. So yes, the UK does a MUCH better job at shipbuilding. Spain's submarines? Oh wait no, they use German submarines. The UK? Astute class submarines are nuclear powered (which Spain can't do) and are by far the most capable submarines in Europe. Destroyers? Britain made it's own, Spain imported all of it's radars and combat systems from the US. Britain wins by a mile, it's a total no contest.

I never said we weren't good at bolting parts together. That's not really manufacturing. The parts are coming from elsewhere. I saw them moving part of the flight deck to the Mersey from the yard. Remarkable thing to see. But, when you're using foreign manufactured goods, because the home grown stuff can't be delivered on time, or to cost...
Another thing, absolutely wonderful having the biggest bestest aircraft carriers, capable of holding 9000 planes. Now all we need is the planes to go on them, isn't it?

UK gov definitely needs to take a much tougher line on the chicoms.

In a collaboration between Rolls Royce and an American firm, all credit to labour gov for going with an unknown quantity rather than the ready to use and already proven set up available, to keep work to the UK. Shame it's at such expense.
Shame Rolls Royce didn't seem to realise it either. You'd have thought someone between the two companies would have picked it up.
It is the intercooler specced to the engine that's the issue. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

I've already said that. The thing is, the intercooler will be designed to suit the engine. With specs provided by RR.
'in collaboration'
So RR will also have a responsibility in checking the specs too, just like we do when we get miscellaneous bits and pieces in to suit what we offer.
Either way, no problems with the European supplied engines, is there? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

So it's the UK manufacturer at fault then? Only this says....including the "system integration" of the "intercooler"...
Quote: | Developed with government funding input from the UK, France and the United States, the WR-21 was designed and manufactured by an international consortium led by Northrop Grumman as prime contractor.[1] The turbine itself was designed primarily by Rolls-Royce with significant marine engineering and test facility input from DCN, with Northrop Grumman responsible for the intercooler, the recuperator and system integration. |
It was based primarily on a successful RR design...
Quote: | WR-21 development draws heavily on the technology of the successful Rolls-Royce RB211 and Trent families of gas turbines |
Which when paired to the US built intercooler, is a damp squib.
Quote: | The Rolls Royce turbines themselves are extremely well-designed, but the Northrop Grumman intercooler has a design flaw causing the turbines to fail occasionally |
Ha! Should have stuck with purely UK design and manufacture rather than cheap foreign bodges. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

There are people from each firm who are responsible.
I'll just point out that the tried and tested systems already available, which the UK chose to overlook, were foreign. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

The actual bad news is The Bank of England has also slashed its growth forecasts, following the UK referendum vote.
It now expects growth of just 0.8% next year, down from 2.3% in its May forecasts.
I am pretty sure I have told you long time ago all this antics with the referendum and Cameron "negotiating" are bad for the UK and for the business.
Scaremongering some said. We will be fine. No we are not fine if the growth is slowing down more then after the 2007 crisis.
And the pound at some point today has reached levels from the 80s, much lower then the 2007 crisis.
Note this is happening whilst the UK is still in the EU and it is questionable when and if the UK will trigger Article 50 and actually get out of the the EU.
Pretty sure that there will be no Brexit negotiations and triggering of Article 50 now. |
I'm pretty sure the remain campaign were saying that interest rates would soar following a leave vote.
I'm not sure that many people will be down in the dumps about their mortgage payments being any cheaper.
Oddly you don't look at the countries in the EU that are struggling, like Spain and Greece. Being in the EU is not a guarantee to success, far from it.
Can we now stop with the butthurt and move on? |
I care what will happen with the UK. Not much concerned what will happen with Greece for example or Portugal for that matter.
If the future events prove me wrong I will be more then happy.
To be honest I do not give rat's ass who will govern. What I would like to happen is the UK to have strong economy and the pound to worth more so that I can get more euros when on holiday.
The whole referndum antics so far is doing the oppoiste. ____________________ Adrian Monk: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...
