Company 'A' replied that its engineers felt that the design and specifications for the equipment were adequate and safe and that Company 'B' should proceed to build the equipment as designed and specified.
The engineers of Company 'B' in reviewing the plans and specifications came to the conclusion that they included certain miscalculations and technical deficiencies of a nature that the final product might be unsuitable for the purposes of the ultimate users, and that the equipment, if built according to the original plans and specifications, might endanger the lives of persons in proximity to it.
