So, I had spent the weekend refitting the hydraulics and controls on a 100 Ton press for one of my customers. I hadn't yet run the system, so on Monday morning I am trying to work out some bugs in the way the system pressurizes and the VP says to me, "by the way, our bankers will be here in an hour and they want to see the press running before they give us any more money."
There was this loud thud, as my jaw hit the floor. I hadnt even gotten the system to run properly yet and they spring this on me. So imagine me at the controls trying to hide the fact that I am manually pushing the cycle button while 3 bankers/investors are milling around the machine. Of course one of them ask what I am doing. I mumble something about testing the knooter valve, preying silently that they will all just go away.
Needless to say, later I worked out my problem and the press operated properly from then on.
They customer also got the money from the bank, how many out there have gone through ordeals like this before?
