| 00:00 - 00:03 | The HYLINE-R LinkedIn post is ready. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | Jason shortened it. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Its got pneumatic and hydraulic |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | It covers rotary actuation, OGA and fail-safe options... |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | ...and every market from Brazil to Oman. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Good. Post it Wednesday morning. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | It will continue the story. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Jacob... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Lee... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Lee has changed the product name again. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | And none of the torque figures match. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone who has ever said “just post something” may leave. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | THE PRODUCT WAS FINISHED! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | THE BROCHURE WAS FINISHED! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | JASON MADE SEVENTEEN VERSIONS OF THAT GRAPHIC! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | I checked it with Chris. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Chris checked it with Michael. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Michael checked it with Lee. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | AND LEE CHANGED IT AFTERWARDS! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | How can a new datasheet already be obsolete? |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | The figures were correct yesterday. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | YESTERDAY IS NOT A PRODUCT SPECIFICATION! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | He only changed one letter. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | ONE LETTER CHANGES THE ENTIRE PRODUCT RANGE! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | HYLINE! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | HYLINE-R! |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Hydraulic! Pneumatic! Linear! Rotary! |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | SOME LIKE THE MOTHER, SOME THE DAUGHTER! |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | BUT THEY STILL NEED THE RIGHT DATASHEET! |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | I asked for a short, concise, relevant post! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Not an engineering novel! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | It only needed torque, pressure, options and approvals... |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | ...every international market... |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | ...the exhibition, the story and the contact details... |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | ...and a clear call to action. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | An appetiser. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | A SHORT APPETISER WITH EVERYTHING IN IT! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | And I still have not approved the font colour! |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | It turns blue in my PDF. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | The website opens SharePoint. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | And somebody used a decimal point. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don’t worry. It only has eleven impressions. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | I would have caught all of this. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | But Teams stopped working. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Because of one link. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | I trusted that email. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | It said, “Urgent revised product specification.” |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Of course I clicked it. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | And I still want to see the post first. |
