Re: Crane Cams needs more duration

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You are right Wakeman, this is terrible for the employees and they did 
produce a great roller lifter plus I believe they were the core source for 
billet cams for other grinders, we as a population have to get our 
collectives heads out of our assess and get the world moving again.
Joey
p.s. the problem is, those of us who are the most quailfied to run the 
country are too busy in our shops working on our race cars
