Computers and magnetic testing
Once again a story by a veteran!
Imagine our surprise when, some 30 years ago, while personal computers (PC) were still in their infancy, one of us got a phone call from a computer manufacturer: a full load of then very expensive PCs had fallen on the ground from a fork-lift truck while running. Nobody was hurt, but the entire load, which would be today valued at 100,000 € (ca 140,000 USD), crashed and had to be thrown away.
Amazing Magnetic Testings
Ski lifts of any kind be they T-bar, chair, gondola and cabin lifts must be yearly inspected as per tough regulations.
Non destructive tests are carried out from beginning May up to October by certified operators (Level 1) or certified inspectors (Level 2), quite often mountain dwellers with an additional training in “acrobatic conditions” work.
Magnetic testing: A "Product modified by the manufacturer, for sure"
Many years ago again - we quite often give "veteran memories" as examples! - a user of a water-based fluorescent magnetic ink phoned us:
-"For the last three years, we have used your xyz product. We inspected ca 2,500 parts per bottle of concentrate. For the last month we have faced a recurrent problem: after ca 250 parts, there are no fluorescent particles left in the ink; further, when we take out the product from the reservoir, we get sticky slurry. You have modified the formula!"

One's experience may help others. In addition any interesting problem met during audits may also help: auditors, who sometimes face incredible situations and have hard times, as well as auditees may have very useful pieces of information
