No Hardig historians in the audience?

True, though towards the end it was more part-time than anything.

I remember meeting him when I toured the factory in 1970. He showed me how he checked to see how smoothly engines ran on finished Avantis. He held a dollar bill by the narrow edge and pressed it to the top of the exhaust pipe. He wanted to see it extending smoothly/horizontally from the pipe with no flutter when the engine was running.
