It seems there is no warehousing of new Orions, they are "made fresh" to
order. 

Anyone have any idea how long the job takes?

I wonder if the boards building process is 100% automated, and how much
individual attention each one requires. 

There may have been a fair amount of manual labor involved in wiring up an
OMNI VI, at the least they needed to secure the boards to the chassis and
plug in all those connectors.

I'd expect they would have engineered it to take less time with Orion. 

It could be that it takes longer to test them after they are hooked together
than it does to assemble the parts.

Anyone privy to the operation in the skunkworks?
