http://ep3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg The dampers are assembled by hand under oil, to make sure no air is in the system. To keep the oil as pure as possible it is continuously filtered, if dirt got into the system it could compromise the damper.

http://ep3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg Coming back from the damper assembly is the small assembly area - things like grub-screws are mounted into barrels. This part doesn't need to be kept quite as sterile as the damper assembly, but because of the size of the parts being assembled they keep the space nice and empty. If you ever want to feel fat-fingered, come and watch this for a few minutes...

Now show us the cranbros factory for comparison, they must have have rats running around the place and six inches of filth on the floor.......certainly would explain the quality of their products.........

Here's a pic of the Crank Brother's factory...

EDIT: It's a little known fact that the Crank brothers were a family of orphaned boys (some as young as 6yrs old), sent to the work houses, to keep them off the street. I think Oliver Twist also had a short stint making inferior headsets.
