you can think of more to fill up the space around the machine on the
Ford plant.  (:-)).

I thought it was Westinghuse in the Ford plant and it involved an out of
balance motor.  Therefore it was:

$10 for clipping the rotor winding.
$14,990 - knowing which rotor to clip .

Does anyone have an authorittative scenario or is this just
another urban legend?
