system. Our drawings which still make up 95% of our engineering definition on older products, are dimensioned based on where they were originally designed. For the last decade, we have been dual dimensioning (even though this carries error).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
As per the message below we will have a conference call today.<br>
<br>
In addition to the items listed below there has been a suggestion that we should write a white paper describing:<br>
"How cloud services can transform machining and assembly in 2025".<br>
<br>
And we have an opportunity to work on a new test part from KTH.<br>

<br>
Lastly we have a new image from our Model Machining Simulator which has bee added to the Cycle 5 planning power point
