Years ago I was able to visit Zeiss in Oberkochen. They had a fantastic headquarters with a few older lithographs. I think a couple of the instruments were 80 millions dollars or so.
There’s a facility across from the Autobahn that was so sensitive trucks going by would throw off their machines. They had to put padding on the autobahn to prevent it. This was after they put the foundation on some kind of suspension. My coworker said they hire the most PHDs in Europe.
- stronglikedan 3y agoSounds like LIGO, but they're in the US. They had to put the AC unit for their entire facility on suspension because their instruments were so sensitive. And they ask people to not accelerate or decelerate so quickly when driving around the campus.
