The new model, which is part of GE’s ecomagination program, delivers a cleaner, faster, safer and more reliable alternative to the aging North American fleet of DC-powered locomotives. GE’s new AC motors have fewer parts to maintain and eliminate the electrical problems that hamper DC motors. The new Model ES44C4. Click to enlarge.

It was wasteful, made being a hardware manufacturer more costly, and added to consumer confusion. PCI was a chess piece—a part of a different game than the one PC manufacturers were playing. In fact, devices you use daily—that Intel played zero part in creating—have benefited greatly from the company’s standards work.

The Difference Engine was a calculator with 25,000 parts. 1 was divided into two main parts: the calculator and the printing mechanism. 1 contained more than 25,000 distinct parts, split roughly equally between the calculator and the printer. The concepts of interchangeable parts and standardization were still in their infancy.

We should have built more Nuclear power plants and created a nuclear waste recycling program. I had surmised this in my 2002 car design thesis [link] even before anyone was talking about plug in series hybrids. because most of GMs profits comes from after market parts. Why should the government do it when the economy is weak.
