Pete, that’s all just and well for the serial production. But here we just have an experimental device.
You’re an electrochemical engineer (or something like that), but LPP are all physicists. They can screw things together and set up measuring devices, but I doubt anyone can weld. Wolfgang the mechanic down the road does the milling and turning. (Isn’t there a better word in English? Something like “fräsen” and “drechseln” in German?) But I doubt he knows much about any kind of electrolysis. Probably just the basics, how you get a nice goldenly finish (I might be wrong here).
I would like to ask you for a favor: Could you maybe instruct Wolfgang what kind of finish is appropriate, and how to achieve it? Or maybe even do the electrolysis in your company’s workshop as a pet project (side project – or whatever it’s called), or as an official order by LPP?
I feel like you’re having heaps of great ideas, but Eric seems to be silent because he doesn’t have the means of bringing those ideas into reality (or maybe he’s just on holiday now). That’s why I’m asking you to step forward with a plan and a commitment to actually do the coating (I hope I don’t ask for too much). So the next time they’re unscrewing the switches and week worth of waiting they get a 50% performance increased switch.
If you’re able to do that, also contact Eric directly by e-mail through the forums, and ask him whether that’s actually desirable. I’m not writing on behalf of LPP, so ask them directly.
Cheers (and a great thank you),
Henning
