Fellas,
I'm translating some Saab article and I've got to know where it is from. I mean originally. In my case it came in a form of some 'article.pdf' file from I-don't-remember-where-it's-from years ago. Here's the 1st page:



The text looks more british rather then american. Although I'm not that good at lingua elva so it may turn out to be kiwi or aussie.

Many thanks in advance,
Zig

P.S.
In a case anyone's still curious about that sprocket project I came up with ~3 weeks ago:
- Erikssons aren't interested because #8 primaries 'were never offered on US market' (sic!)
- desaabsite* aren't (isn't) interested because they're coming with a new version of their (his) website and they (he) believe(s) that #8 primaries can still be found brand new (sic!)
- skandix aren't interested
- partzforsaabz* ( don't see much market for that
- and finally we come to Eeuro which initially showed their interest, but then suddenly stopped responding to my emails. Recently I pinged them twice - with a voicemail and an email - but decided to stop it in order not to be a bad penny. I think it's some elvish thing which I just don't get since it was eEuro Dean whose service brought me professionally up on and who had been my idol and the role model each time I come across the term 'client-focused'. From this perspective the way they handled it this time looked (and still does) weird. Maybe I'm just not supposed - or designed - to understand it.

Just in case here're the 'behind-the-scene' prices:
- $2000 for R'n'D part which covers the chemical and structural analysis of Saab original parts and when completed gives me the drawings and technological cart (or chart, whatever); one set of the later batch goes to crusher to confirm they handle (at least statically) 400+ NM of torque
- in production it's $230 per set (a set is a pair of sprockets: a primary and a slave ones)
- $40 for RU-US EMS (USPS Express) shipping
I though these prices had some room for seller's margin and still were market-attractive. But the thing that all the sellers I contacted gave it up sooner or later doesn't look promising. But I think I probably gonna give it a try in two months if things go well with me.

these names appear not to be used on this BB and thus I had to trick it to defeat Scott's AI.
