{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Did they, the project of— so he lives in Huntsville?

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
He lives in Huntsville, yeah.

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.

[00:02:34]
Did he, uhh, did the project department then continue as a smaller operation after that time?

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
No, they stayed exactly the same way.

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Mmhmm.

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
Only I had left.

[00:02:48]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
Because, at that time, I didn't have a job.

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Mhhmmm

[00:02:53]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And I ask Roth— "What should I do now?" And he told me— "Look. Why don't you keep yourself busy until a new project comes in."

[00:03:05]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And, I personally didn't like that too well, that was the reason that I looked for a different job.

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Mhhhmmm

[00:03:13]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And went into the test department— "Versuchs Department". "Versuchsabteilung".

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
"Versuchsabteilung"?

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
Yeah.

[00:03:22]
{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Which was headed by Thiel, right? Or was that—

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
Ja— by Thiel. Dr. Thiel.

[00:03:29]
{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Ummm, and who were you under directly, in terms of your immediate supervisor?

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
I was directly under Hueter. Hans Hueter.

[00:03:38]
{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Mhhhhmmm. And, uh, what was your responsibilities then, when you started with the test stand?

[00:03:46]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
I was put on a test stand.

{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Mhhhmmm.

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And had to record all the difficulties which came up in the preparation of the test and during the test itself.

[00:04:03]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
I should tell you something about the test: As we said it at that time—

[00:04:11]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
—if the test failed and you didn't know what happened, that was a complete failure.

[00:04:20]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And if you did know what happened, then you would say that was a successful failure.

[00:04:27]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
And in order to trace the whole thing—
