MilPower Source, Inc., an offshore custom power supply company, had designed and built a high performance product for NBP, Inc. in Pomona, CA. NBP however, required complete documentation for its end customer; the reverse engineering

Power Supply
US Navy. MilPower was unaware of the documentation requirements of the Navy and did not have the tools or manpower to do the job.

Since this was a temporary requirement it was decided to outsource this huge documentation task to Piton who could provide MIL-STD-100 documentation. Also, this would allow time to ramp up an in-house drafting and documentation department.

Working from foreign language, hand drawn, mechanical prints, schematics, and prototypes of the +5V and +/-12V power supplies; Piton worked backwards and created over 73 drawings and 33 parts lists.

Drawings included machined aluminum parts, lathed parts, stamped parts, sheetmetal parts, mechanical assembly drawings, identification labels, transformer assemblies, printed wiring boards, printed wiring assemblies, schematic diagrams, and interconnect diagrams.

Interface between the offshore engineers, the East Coast US office, the Pomona based customer, and the US Navy was critical to technical accuracy and meeting schedule. After two iterations the Navy "bought off" the drawings.

Piton provided this service again for a Teladyne project and a Datatape power supply. After these two projects, and with Piton's guidance, MilPower established an in-house capability.
