Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element was discovered in our Solar system before being discovered on 

Earth. The USA supplies most of the world this element and Amarillo, Texas 

is a major production center.  What is the element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Helium (He)! French and English astronomers identified 
helium as part of the sun in 1868 well before Sir William Ramsey 
identified helium on earth in 1895. Both nitrogen and helium are produced 
by fractional distillation of methane.

The winner of the weekly element quiz is Ian Braddock, MBDA Systems, and 
he will get the services of Clumpy and 
Kloumpios for the week. The boys caught a cargo flight out of Cedar Rapids 
and are on their way. Lots of correct responses this week but Ian had the 
fastest electrons.

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 13 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with performing cross sections for the team this week.  If they 

finish early, I'm going to let them spend a couple of days fishing at the 
coast after our three day rain.

Week 14 Brian Ellis
- The boys are taking a red-eye flight back to you, eta 04:35 tomorrow 
morning. They expect you to meet them at the airport as they have a 
truck-load of Cypriot delicacies, including a bottle of zivania for Doug 
to turn his Mountain Dew into Mountain firewater, ideal for cleaning PCBs. 


My weather station is well calibrated, now.

Week 15 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- Tell the boys to be prepared for helping do FOD walks at one of my 
suppliers. I bet when the employees at this supplier see these 2 guys on 
the FOD walk it will get their attention and help raise awareness of the 
importance of preventing FOD.

Week 16 Steve Gregory
-I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave 
machine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want 
to call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get 
the wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the 
pot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that 
we have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play 
musical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics 
where it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again. 

Week 17 Phil Kinner, PVA
- assisted with ????

Week 18 Ian Braddock, MBDA Systems
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!
