Dave,

Once did a tour of the Yamaha factory in Japan (1978), first time I ever saw Robots at work.
One of those devices painted the motors which were hanging from hooks on an assembly line, then they disappeared behind a curtain-------I took a sneaky peek and was surprised to see a little chap with a spray gun, reaching the parts that the robots could not reach-------was chastised for looking in a restricted area-------even in those days there was a lot of secret Sh-t.
