Re: Bob Gruenwald's minivan pictures

Hey Bob,
Just checked out the web site.
I noticed something interesting...
" Design controller for the air conditioning systems on the New York 
City subway cars. These heavy-duty controllers were totally sealed for 
mounting on the bottom of subway cars"
Ametek also does those, we just got a new contract
for some more inverters.
I've plugged your business a couple of times on this list,
you've done some pretty cool stuff with EV's.

I think you're mostly using Yaskawa-Magnetek drives for
these, if not I'd be interested to know what you are using.

What's the deal with stripping the EV for your dyno?
I wouldn't mind having that AC drive system in my TEVan.
Maybe we could 'work some deals' for a similar system.

Keep up the good EV work,
Rod
