If combines were made the way websites are
I know it's not original, but I decided to write this to let off some steam. Since my parents have spent their whole lives working at a combine plant, I decided to describe the kinds of requirements we deal with at work in a way they'd understand, even though I myself know next to nothing about combines.
Hello, we have purchased an American "John Deere" grain-harvesting combine; from the look of it and from the reviews it's very high-quality and functional, but it lacks a couple of mechanisms and its appearance doesn't suit us, so put the body of the Ukrainian "Slavutych" combine on it and build the mechanisms we saw in it, and also such-and-such mechanisms from the Belarusian "Palesse". There are no blueprints or documentation for the combine, since it's a closed development and we don't anticipate modification by others, and therefore there's no way to get in touch with the engineers of the original machine.
All rights to the resulting combine will belong to our company; don't forget to paint our logo on it; it will be used in Russia under the brand "Sverdlovsk".
A year later.
We noticed that after the body was installed and the combine repainted, some of the American mechanisms jam or don't work the way they should — fix them, and also we decided to use the combine for harvesting a larger number of grain crops, so the mechanisms you built earlier need to be expanded and reworked.
