Abstract:  
Empire Abrasive Equipment Company Rebuilding diesel engines to pull twenty tons of freight for a million miles presents challenges. When these overhauls are guaranteed for distances approaching two round trips to the moon or forty circumnavigations of the Earth, the work better be right. Skimping on any aspect of quality could damage a rebuilder's reputation and dent the bottom line.
