Rich nodded. "Brooms and dragons caught my attention when I was her age. Never did give up on the brooms."
A speculative look came over his face. "You know, you or any of your inspectors want to come out to the design works, we'll put the kettle on. The boffin crew speaks Arithmancy rather than English most days, so let me know and I'll come translate. Poke where you like; we've nothing to hide. Especially, look at the rejects and failed designs. Grab any prototype you want and take it for a spin." He frowned. "The absolute junk I've been seeing out there every now and then... well... the more we can show your people, the better it will be for all riders in the long run. I know my Unlimited is no family broom, but in comparison to what some people are bringing to the tracks, you could paper it for every day use." Rich thought for a few seconds. "For that matter, we're going to start a limited pre-production run on the Family Broom in a few weeks. Make sure we have all the bugs out before we submit a final version. Would we be getting into ethical hot water if we were to hand them out to you and your people after I flight test them? Let Transportation have a final say before we do a production model?"
"Let me see if I can get the deep pockets on board. Otherwise, I'll take your suggestion on my own. Appreciate it."
