Here's something you don't see everyday
MRI Delta Mod2
I don't suppose that anybody has any top-secret photos of current MABEL's? I believe this became the AVI motor making machine, then the FSI motor making machine and finally the Quest motor making machine. on the other hand maybe the second one is a mod 3 version? ANybody got a better scan or original of the AVI catalog that shows this?

those look very similar to the machines that Dave Bucher got from the old FSI facility in Raytown.
At the Estes tour a couple of years ago, we were allowed to stand a couple hundred feet away from the open doors of one of the machines, in which we saw nothing, but could hear it clanking and pshhh-ing away. Unless you work for Estes, it is not likely that you would ever see one. They can be described a bit, and I've always heard from people who know that the MRI/MPC/AVI/FSI/Quest machines were a bit dinky compared to the Estes machines., but that they worked on similar principles. That is, an index table with hydraulic presses and pneumatic drives, gravity and low frequency vibration used to move casings to chucks and powder from hoppers to measurers. Enclosing building set up to direct any unfortunate forces upward instead of outward.

Can you imagine running a MEC style loader with handle and charge bar all day long for a living? I'm glad I don't have to work the handle on a few hundred thousand motors per day! I'd have one of those arms that make people think I'm a tennis pro, or spend a lot of time alone looking at....rockets.

Roy can you ID the various buildings per your tour?
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4136649,-105.0170591,382m/data=!3m1!1e3 You can obviously see the MABEL's in a line with the white Styrofoam square on top. Did you take any pics?

Bill-
I need the plans for your bathroom for our first floor bathroom. Would be hilarious since the master bedroom is directly above it. My significant other would not find it nearly as funny. Will have to install a keypad or retinal scan lock on the door. Nobody will be allowed in other than myself. That assures I will be DELIVERING the fragrant aroma, but NEVER on the receiving end.
