thousand computers like this every month

Shilla works for a computer company in

Germany he's in London at the moment to

talk to Julia Marsh and James Brady so

Karl why are you here I'm here to talk

about a new business project what kind

of project we're developing a new

computer for children to use at home but

surely lots of computers are made for

children and several of them are made

for home use how is your computer

different in two ways first we're

developing a better voice activation

system a ward

what does voice activation means I'm

sorry look at this computer this one

doesn't have a voice activation system

in order to use it you have to read the

screen then type your answer China his

terrain yes

but the new computer speaks to the child

it asks a question and the child answers

by speaking to the computer and the

other difference it's educational

nearly all the computers that are sold

to children are for games

hardly any are made to have children

with their studies but yours will yes

because we're developing special

software study programs I see you're

developing the software in order to sell

the hardware yes you could say that hmm

it sounds very interesting but it is and

maybe your tool can help me how we need

an advertising agency here in Britain

you mean you want us to advertise your

computer

yes do you realize that we're a very

small company yes all you must work for

me to get bigger hmm what do you think

yes come we'd love to I'm here to talk

about a new business project to talk

about a new business project Karl is

here because he wants to talk about a

new business project - or in order to

you're developing the software in order

to sell the hardware in order to sell

the hardware in order to or just to it

means the same thing

there's an English sports car called a

Morgan the Morgan factory is not like

most car factories

it's a traditional factory and it's very

small it only has about a hundred

workers the company was started by Harry

Morgan today his grandson Charles Morgan

is the production manager at the factory

he explains how Morgan cars are made the

Morgan is built using a technique which

we call coach building coach building

was very popular in the 1920s and in

fact all the best cars in the world were

always coach built and what that means

is that rather like in the olden days

with coaches being built at about a wood

frame and metal panels we still build

the car that way we start with the ash

tree and we make a frame and we then

coverage and either steel or aluminium

the car is constructed with a steel

chassis and the engine and the drive

line and the gearbox and the back axle

is assembled into the chassis we put the

engine in the center of the chassis in

order to give the car balance the car

once it's finished as a chassis has a

ticket put on it with the customer's

name on it

and even at this stage when the car is

only 2 or 3 days old the customer can

see his particular car getting through

our factory the wood frame is assembled

out of many many different what we call

body rails and the skill of assembling

the wood frame is to make sure that each

joint is treated as an very important

part of the overall picture of the car

to that end the joints are glued and

screwed together there are 76 different

pieces of wood and most them have a

giant both end

the Morgan is built out of combination

of parts which we obtained from external

suppliers and parts that we manufacture

ourselves we manufacture many of the

major components ourselves because we

want to give the car its particular

character the metal parts are made out

of a flat sheet of metal in every case

we make for example the fuel tank of the

car we make the radiator of the car at

the final assembly stage the various

items are fitted to the car like the

heater like the computer box that runs

the engine like all the electrical

equipment that makes up the dashboard

Morgans are exported to virtually all

the civilized countries in the world at

one time or other we have agents in

approximately 15 different countries

the proportion of cars that are exported

compared to the proportion that are sold

in the UK is is half and half so

approximately fifty percent are exported

the morgan sports car has a unique look

but it also has I think a unique

character and that character comes from

the materials that are used in the

making of the car and it comes from the

way it's built and the people who build

it because undoubtedly of the hundred

people who build this car they all put a

little bit of themselves into the car

mmm lovely cars that was Charles Morgan

at the Morgan car factory where a

hundred people are employed making cars

and this is a studio where three people

are employed making programs and now the

program is finished goodbye goodbye

goodbye
