Abstract:  
The two articles from Curtiss-Wright/Metal Improvement Company in this magazine coincide nicely with the recent notice of a patent approval that was the collaboration between Electronics Inc. (EI)and Metal Improvement Company (MIC). (See MIC articles on pages 18 and 34.) The collaboration started when I was visiting with Dave Francis at MIC several years ago and we were talking about various aspects of shot peening, including specifications, new technology and audits. (Dave is Senior Vice President at MIC and was the 2002 Shot Peener of the Year.)
