Nah, the flat tires would get destroyed after three attempts to
repair a machine failed and the tires were sent back to tire repair.
(At least until the red toe-tags were no-longer left on the tires...)
Told to me by a DEC FS guy who's dad worked at Honeywell
Honeywell once decided that they were going to judge the FS folks by how many
good boards were returned as bad.
Field folks soon came up the answer: Microwave the boards to
make sure they didn't work when they were returned. At DEC I saw at least
4 boards returned to the field with obvious faults (after being in
repair twice). The FS fix... step on 'em and crack em so they dont come
back again .

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
