Ventilators urgent call NHS

[Still Farming]

Desperate call by Health Secretary Matt Hancock on news this morning for any engineering firms that can build ventilators he will take them all as needed here and long afterwards for rest of the World?
He stated 1950's technology and is putting blue prints on net soon???
SCARY?

Thought I'd heard somewhere that some of the F1 teams were going to have a bash at making some as they can't race

What happens when not the virus but the equipment kills ?

F1 teams only engineer/design really. Very little manufacturer

I think a lot of the small firms around the Silverstone area make components for them though

Yer theres a few I hope they can help but in my experience there not the most reliable types of suppliers

 

[Still Farming]

Lots of companies Succonded to build them assp.

Its a given that the new ' makers' would simply contribute their capacity to produce components for assembly to the design, material spec and inspection standards used by the existing maker, who from their existing capacity, are unable to make more than their stated output of 30 per week. While an engineer currently engaged in other specialities may be a lesser experienced person in the speciality of medical equipment, they would surely be an improvement upon a layman, that being the alternative at this time.

My brother works for a firm whose parent company are in the runnings and actively involved. It was announced at his workplace yesterday afternoon that they were well ahead of the game and would have something ready for next week.

From what I've picked up from the missus I'd sayany rules standards etc are out the window at the moment with full backing... Seems the attitude is throw hands at it and keep the plates spinning do what they can do.

Sounds like a job for most of the contributors to the quick fixes, bodges and creations thread.

Lots of aeroplanes parked up at the moment. Don't they all have oxy systems that drop down masks when required?
What would be easier, strip it out the planes and use the parts, or just sit the patients in the planes?!
