Overall
Impressions/Epiphanies.
It’s amazing that something as elaborate as their finished
product comes from that little warehouse/shop. I’m also surprised they have a
bladder to hold the air, I figured it would just be a reservoir or accumulator
with a pressure regulating valve. It was an impressive place and operation.
