Clocks with chips. Whatever will be next.
Are a dollar for the movement behind a piece of paper sold for $20. Looking at market bearings, a programmable event alarm linked to an exterior power source, which turns on or that source along with an apparent light of LED confidence. Appliance timers are selling for $20. Not mechanical trips with so many slots and buttons of limits to their restrictive measures, which lag to a transition, but the digital equivalent without conspicuous limitations. Mid-marketing interestingly has its say on that. Stacking the two aside one another occurs from a comparative view to sourcing their materials from southern Chinese borders at the divide, most directly indistinguishable between Hong Kong. But when, last and exasperated by a interim buffer between West and East, having evaluated to select the East for a direct source, a West final or counter-offer was then revealed to me from an Eastern affiliate, an OEM branding outfit, closest to the Far East but located in the occidental West. The price struck was at a 30% markup over 60% discounts reflected by source marketing appraisals, over and above market forbearance for a Western discrepancy of added profits, effectively then to reduce a perceived cost/value by half. Of interest notably, between a browser for bouncing prices back and forth for both Western mid-marketing interests, that the final outcome should occur at the checkout-stage, apart from wares initially priced as so presented. Pulled out from underneath the table from a box, as it were, of cookies I wouldn't, offhand, say with certainty that they could not be further factored for sharing operable principles between the two interests. |

The first Volkswagen Beatles were sold in America for $600/US for operating on a 6Vold electrical system from a 40-horsepower motor. Now a clock movement, from China, occurs at under $1/US to subsidized US mail services, and, as we're informed, a gasoline-fueled vehicle costs an American $40,000/US. It's fully a 360-degree magnitude of import. |

By the way for those who have never been under the hood of a VW beatle, on their smallish gas tank sat about a 4 inch diameter filler cap! Like you would find on a Kenworth Diesel tank. Yup, Brilliant. Rene For a short time, my brother was restoring a VW bug. Pulled the heater and set it up on a stump in the back yard. The plan was to test it. Of course it caught fire. No surprise there. The only thing missing, is my brother didn't bring a bag of marshmallows to cook on the heat. The restoration project stopped, when my brother stripped all the wire out of the thing (it needed replacing), then couldn't figure out how it all went again. Paul |

I had to drive with both front windows down so that the exhaust had a place to go. That was annoying but tolerable during the summer, but it got rough during the winter when the temps were below -20F. |

Rene Actually, my friend had a bug where the heater worked beautifully. When they work, they're awesome because they start throwing heat almost immediately, unlike a standard water-cooled engine that needs to warm up first. I agree about the danger, though. A pinhole leak, over time, might not alert you with the exhaust smell but might be enough to make you drowsy. That could be a safety issue. With that bug, though, first the throttle cable broke and my friend replaced it with a piece of light rope. Then the clutch cable broke shortly after. We limped it home, but it was interesting because we had to roll through stop signs and stop lights. That was the clue, though, that a visit to the local junk yard was in order. Luckily, we were able to scrounge both cables. |
