Reminds me of my place of work. Years ago, when ADA first became law, we
had to design a new wheelchair lift for the buses, and it required
brackets for the stow latches to be welded into the lower structure.
Someone in manufacturing engineering decided it would be a waste of time
to build a jig to do this (we don' need no steenkeeng jigs!). So, for
months, none of the brackets were positioned correctly. Everyone charged
with getting the lifts to work had a sixteen-pound sledgehammer to
"adjust" the steplock brackets.... (!)
Cheers.
