So I went with 3 of my coworkers to Assembly Canada, an automation show at the International Centre that was on today and yesterday, in Toronto. I spent almost 2 hours at Stelron's booth. I just stood there. In shock. In awe. In absolute amazement. (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Thanks for offering them to us, but you'd probably get a better response if you brought them down and sold them at a dinner or rtlToronto event.

No, no pics, but I've got a little LDraw render of the crankshaft assembly at the bottom of the page, now.
