1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:18,260 So the part is a bracket that's three D 3 00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:21,680 printed . It holds up wave guides on 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,350 one of our antennas . And without the 5 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:26,461 wave guides , the system is useless . 6 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:30,160 So we conduct inspections 7 00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:33,562 on each system , probably every month . 8 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,110 And every time we do one of these 9 00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:38,277 inspections , we are required to do an 10 00:00:38,277 --> 00:00:40,410 inventory .

Um , we can't 15 00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,161 really get ahold of one very easily , 16 00:00:52,161 --> 00:00:54,020 So I printed it .
