A man with Canadian Pacific Railway in Montreal has built an expert system
which works in conjunction with a gas chromatograph and/or spectrograph to
perform an analysis of the oil in large engines. By looking for the metals
that are carried in the oil, expensive engine failures are found in
advance. They are claiming some impressive savings.
   The details are not at hand now. If interested, please call or write,
I'll try to help.
