Thanks Rich, I wish Lev would get out of that habit. He's a sharp guy, and an engineer. I remember George Bush used to do that stuff, and he was President. Has something to do with being "right brained".

We need a poll:

Now that I've innocently opened up the hornet's nest...

To help straighten out what Lev *said* and what we *saw*, we need another factor: how fast were the 4x4" *cells* coming off the line, visually? I didn't really check my watch, and was busy writing, quite often. Were they really only being dropped onto the conveyor at a rate of one every 15 seconds, or was it one every 5 seconds?

If the former, then they only make 4 cells/min, and we use Larry's math; if the latter, then Lev's words of 'batteries' were based on his knowledge on paper of the # batteries/min equivalent that they make, even though the machinery is producing a certain # cells/min.; and if the latter is true, then Fred's got it right.

Sheesh, it was right in front of us.

So, okay, test your memory: how fast was that line moving?

PS My apologies, since this is not where our attention should be. Perhaps replies should be private mailed to me, and I'll tally and post results, to avoid cluttering the thread.
