Small world, I was also deeply involved in fuel gauging, it was my primary focus later in my avionics career. I did a several bizjet fuel systems, Learjet and Hawker, the JPATS military trainer, Dornier 328 commuter, and the X47 UCAV. Most of my work was out of the Smiths Industries location in Great Valley, PA. I spent time late in the X47 project at Clearwater just before the GE acquisition.

Yes, small world then.

Also did all the wire wrapping at Smiths for the Harrier AV8B Marine jump jets heads up displays. 80-81. Then went to SI-TEX KODEN marine next door for 10 years. Ross Engineering, then GTE Mobilnet / Verizon cellular.

We had a few parts shortages along (Japan control then) the way but nothing like today. The world has really changed.
