I read an automotive paper about vehicle suspension frequencies to avoid because they could unpleasantly resonate internal organs. I couldn't generate them at a high enough power level to notice anything, although my stereo can rattle the doors and windows.
The heavy and flexible cable for car audio has been useful in my alternate energy projects.

Its aluminum. The ones I made are 304 stainless. Aluminum is like butter by comparison.
Why do h*mo-erotic slurs come so easily to your mind, tommeee?
No, most people don't agree with that, tommeee - at least not any adult participants.
Wieber doesn't have a backhoe, tommeee - he doesn't even have access to one, as you well know. It's just more of his empty woofing.
You wouldn't hire 10% of a Gummer Wieber, because you know he's worthless. Of course, you had to lay off everyone after you ran your daddy's company into the ground.
What kind of "Injuneers" does Coyote Engineering hire, Wieber?
Sounds like you already have the right pen for you then.
He doesn't have a "tactical pen".
Please do not engage me in your feud. Thank you.
Looks like you engaged by responding. Nice one!
Interesting to read how coyotes are colonizing urban areas - seem getting rid of the Gray Wolves has cut out one of the major forms of coyote population control.

OTOH, were I in such a situation, I would definitely want to make life simpler to the customers. After all, the day will come when you say "I worked for Industrial Widget" and someone will form their opinion of you because of their experience with Industrial Widget - even if it is long after you left. Long standing grip - people doing crappy work which goes out and because I work for the same company, it make me look bad.

This was observed in reverse in Yellowstone after the wolves were reintroduced and caused a decline in the coyote population. The fox population experienced a big rebound, both because fewer coyotes were preying on foxes, and because coyotes were no longer out-competing foxes for rabbits and rodents and other smaller animals.
Hmmm....what would make a good 50A 240V current limiter?
No, they had hired a VP who believed that the trade journals told only the truth. Their advertisers were all in business to sell you new equipment, or very shoddy repair services.
One company replaced 1000 power transformers with cheap Chinese, with no thermal fuses. We had dozens of cable boxes overheat, and some start fires. That meant that we had to locate every box they had touched, out of 10,000 in customer's homes.
Another company would clean the band switches by wiping away the lubricant, then use a fiberglass eraser to scrub the silver plating off the contacts. Some of those had failed again, before we could unpack the shipping boxes. All of the so called news articles were written by people like 'Fast Eddie' who praised these shoddy companies, along with vendors selling substandard hardware.
Since their main income was from shysters, they wrote steady streams of articles about how it cost you money to attempt to repair converters, amplifiers and power supplies, in house. I saved the company over one million dollars in four years, and took us to the highest rated company in the region. It fell to the bottom withing months of my leaving the company.
I got calls from other cable systems that we owned, and I was offered a job to manage a group of our systems in Stuttgart Arkansas, but I would still have to deal with that same moron. The VP of Marketing, and the head of our Microwave division were both angry that I had given notice. I wasn't going to be micromanaged by an even bigger idiot than that manager I'd fought with for four years to do my job well, on time and on budget.
He insisted on ordering things in multiples of 25, 100, 250, 1000 etc. Repair parts were easier to purchase by the case. I would ask for
96 new cable box cases. He would order 100. We would wait two to four months, until other people ordered enough fractional cases to use the other 92 in a second case. 96 would have arrived in six working days.He insisted on buying the Japanese made control cables. I would order two 1000 foot spools of Belden 'Converter cable', and spend one shift making cables in house. They cost us less than half as much per cable, and they lasted much longer.
The only remaining product of United Video Cablevision is their 'Electronic Program Guide' service. In the early '80s, it was done on a mainframe in the SW, and a pair of leased data lines took it to Chicago and back where it was transmitted as a subcarrier on WGN, one of our Superstation feeds.

I love it when the little guys who don't understand business question the business intelligence of those who do understand it.
