So even when the Russian engineers had better solutions, they were not allowed to implement them. A kommisar would routinely drop by and measure the exactness of reproduction. As Alex mentioned, even errors were religiously replicated. -drl

Sorry, what? I wasn't listening. I was fantasizing that I was far away, very alone, and reading a book.
