That's hard to say but there are alot of folks in the Company that hold it near-and-dear to their hearts; especially the current VP of the Engineering Department.

Can you give us some history on this? I am positive I read where it was only running on one prime mover about 10-15 years ago. Can you enlighten us as to when this happened or if it just was not so?
