EV> In the 1950's I remember seeing a picture in a Mechanix
EV> Illustrated magazine of a tiny Drill Bit that employees at
EV> a General Electric plant In the USA had made and iirc they
EV> sent it to a Watch Company in Switzerland to show them what
EV> they accomplished.

EV> Later the Swiss sent the Drill Bit back to G.E. with a hole
EV> they drilled in it.
EV> The picture in the magazine showed the bit with the hole in
EV> it.

EV> Some things like that I haven't forgot.....yet.   <grin>

EV> 73

Now that you mention it I remember that story, but it was a
Russian Drill bit and an American trade show.

I believe your one since I now know someone who actually saw it.
