A: We'd like to welcome everyone to the Michelson Tools factory site, and thank everyone for being here today. My name is Paul Shafer, I'll be showing you around today. Please feel free to ask questions at any point during our tour, I'll be happy to answer questions for you.

B: Is it really necessary to wear all this protective gear?

A: That's an excellent question. I'll bet your wondering why we ask you to wear hard hats and safety goggles while you're in the plant. The reason is simple, we care about your safety and we want to ensure there are no injuries today. As you will see, to maintain a high level safety, we also require all of our staff to wear similar protective gear.

B: How long will the tour take?

A: It should take about twenty minutes to go through the main plant, and maybe another ten to take a look at the laboratory. All together our tour should last about half an hour.

B: Okay....

A: Well, if you don't have any questions, shall we get started? If you'll follow me, first I'll take you to the site of our semi-conductor system....
