I recall the Merc guys sitting across the slip in Waukegan taking pictures of the OMC test barge and docks in hopes of finding new stuff. Eventually OMC made canvas surrounds for the engines on the test barge to prevent "prying eyes". I'm sure you remember when Strang sent Alex a copy of the blueprint of the then secret V-6. Or the time OMC lost one of the exhaust manifolds for the 4-rotor race engine. OMC was positive Merc had paid off someone to get it. Turns out it bounced out of the cart going between the plants. A $100 reward secured it's return.
