[simpits-tech] Re: mil-specs

[Jim K.]

Gene,
Thanks for the specs.   I've tried to find these things on the net but like 
FRED mentioned in another post the only places I could find them were on 
pay sites.

I've been talking with some mil spec panel manufacturing personnel over the 
past month and got a lot of really good information from them about how 
they make their panels.   They have been great to talk to.   One is an 
Engineering Manager and he has been outstanding in assisting me.

I think i have a pretty good handle on exactly how the panels are made and 
what materials and electronics.   I'm now working on a way with a few 
friends to get them made in a way that we can afford them.   I want panels 
that look exactly like the real thing and are "backlightable"

I'll keep you guys posted.
Jim
