Operations
Run it
Change the volume, move the autonomy line, release a gate, and watch what happens to the hours in each lane and to the time it takes one run to get through. more
The simulation is arithmetic on the estate, not a queueing model. more
How it runs
Run it again, going wrong
The same unit and the same stations, broken the way the estate already records breaking. more
5 stations, walked twice
Once clean, once with the categories the estate counts
This is the same unit on the same stations, breaking. more
No break below was chosen. more
One play head, two tracks, the same scale. The clean run stops when it runs out of stations; the other one keeps going.
