“The ship should not have been asked to demonstrate achievements when she had not had a chance to demonstrate her weaknesses.” (or) The Failings of Top Down Design

Quote at the beginning of Chapter 7 of “Engineering and the Mind’s Eye” by Eugene Fergusson.

Read this just before figuring out what the F’ had been going wrong with the belt drive and internal 8spd on the last Mortuary Made BBW by finally trying it with a single speed.

Never stop learning.  So glad to see this thing riding.
