    Let me guess, dump truck didn't know where to go so he drove down there and got stuck, dozer tried to pull him out and he got stuck so the excavator had to go rescue them?

    Almost; they were all working down there. Six trucks running. The bottom is actually pretty solid even with the water there - there is a hardpan layer about a foot down from where they are, but then one of the trucks hit a soft spot and it just went downhill from there.

    not quite, we manufacture multi-function tribometers for metal wear testing - ball/pin on disk, linear reciprocating, block on ring, four ball, extreme pressure/high temp, etc. tests, as well as some optical equipment to analyze the wear. we're not testing the lubrication itself per se, rather the behavior of various materials under the influence (or absence) of lubrication

    edit: although that's not to say the end user wouldn't be testing lubrication, i suppose its just a different method, looking for other variables

    Very very cool, man. Definitely something I find interesting.
