Minutes of The 140 Series Ventillation System Project Meeting

Mgr: "Okay team, the first thing we gotta do is figure where to put the fan motor. After all, it's the central component of the whole ventillation system. "

Eng1: "How about in the trunk?"

Mgr: "But wagons won't have trunks. "

Eng2: "Or maybe under the glovebox?"

Mgr: "But what about legroom? "

Eng1: "You know, if they can make the ashtray a little smaller maybe it'll squeeze behind there."

Mgr: "Hmmm, I thought the fuel pump relay was going there, but maybe you're on to something. "

Eng2: "Then we could use two fan blades, one on each end so we can use the same fan in right and left hand drive models."

Eng1: "... and better weight distribution. You know how they're always going on about that.

Eng2: "... and maybe even hook it up to the bulb out sensor in case one blade ever breaks."

Mgr: "Hey, now we're talking! "

Eng1: "... and if we can get it first in the assembly process then the dash and body design teams will have to figure out how to attach everything to the fan instead of the other way around. Saves us a lot of effort. That'll make the fan the central component of the whole car. "

Mgr: "I agree. Good work, Eng1! I see a promotion to project manager of electrical systems in your future. Now let's hit the bar before it gets crowded."

Meeting adjourned
