ford_428cj Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Trump was thinking like WW2 when they built planes. Ventilators are not a thing they would be good at. He should have set a guy in charge to get with the Medtronic, Honeywell, Alcoa types. Get a simpler one designed up, make that the standard one for all places to make, & then get PO's cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton there for sure. We have solid companies around here also that could get a lot of the parts built - or tooling made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
