We'd lost the technology. We didn't have a welding procedure, and to develop another welding procedure and prove it out under today's more rigorous standards would have cost — you could have built another battleship. Actually you couldn't have, because you didn't have a welding procedure. But in any case, Stout and Doty has all this information. I'll show you later other information, but this is a nice little summary of the types of things we have to have in order to figure out how to weld things. So these guys would call me up and say, how do we weld this? I would go to Stout and Doty, spend fifteen minutes looking at it, write up a procedure for him, and charge him a half an hour or something like that, okay.
