I didn't ask for material from Siemens, but I told you that manufacturers are likely to be very cooperative if you approach them with professional interest. I mentioned that the French were especially eager to cooperate.When I was developing the Ride and Seek subway game some years ago (before Bombardier had a website), I asked Bombardier for specific information about the R68 subway car. I didn't have a specific address, only "Paris-La Defense France" and I don't speak or write French. So I wrote to "Public Relations" at the general address (I didn't even have a street number). A week later I got a parcel in the mail with glossy brochures, technical specs on the R68 car (in English, thankfully), information about ANF Industrie (the carbody builder), diagrams (and not just the kind you get in brochures sometimes), you name it. and they sent me information packets in French on RATP and other transportation networks in France. And business cards for different managers in Canada and France. Any questions, they asked? Give us a call - we'll tell you anything you want to know. I think Siemens would do the same for you - no, even better, if you tell them your educational background. If nothing else they'll be showing off for you (try a little stroking, see what you get). Or you can skip this whole thing and prove that you have no respect for yourself, never mind anybody else on this board. |
