     1        A.  That is correct.
     2
     3   Q.   Did you check this up last night at all?
     4        A.  No, sir.  I testified during the last time I was here
     5        in December that I had checked that with Tyson.
     6
     7   Q.   You said that if that was noticed that would be corrected,
     8        so is this form one day's operational tests?
     9        A.  Yes -- no.  No, these are from April through June.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is a quarter.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  So this is over a period of three months there was
    14        continual non-conformity on those issues?
    15        A.  That is correct.
    16
    17   Q.   If we go to page -----
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is that right?  Suppose one of the 93 checks
    20        on trained employees, whatever that means (because I am
         still totally unclear about what it does mean), suppose one
    22        of those checks attracted a mark in column F, it does not
    23        mean to say it was attracting the mark in column F, surely,
    24        for the whole three months; it just means, I would have
    25        thought, when the inspection task was performed, whenever
    26        that was, between April and June 1993, it attracted that
    27        comment?
    28        A.  That is correct.  So, during those -- the tasks were
    29        under the column, task performed, task performed, during
    30        that quarter.
    31
    32   MR. MORRIS:  They would be generally spaced out over a period of
    33        time?
    34        A.  That is what it tells ------
    35
    36   Q.   One day or two days?
    37        A.  Yes, and that is what it tells -- this is the sum,
    38        during that time those are the non-conformities.
    39
    40   Q.   If we go to page 67, we have the three months similar
         checks on, for example, trained employees and equipment
    42        disassembly for October to December 1992, which was six
    43        months previously, and the non-conformity rate, 54 per cent
    44        for the training of employees, whatever that means, and 80
    45        per cent non-conformity equipment disassembly, most of
    46        those were major non-conformities on both of those.  So, in
    47        fact, the situation had got worse, had it not, by the
    48        following year in the summer or early summer of 1993?
    49        A.  You have to understand -----
    50 
    51   Q.   So they were not learning, were they, from their ----- 
    52        A.  Are you asking me? 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  When Mr. Morris asks a question he is obliged to
    55        wait for the answer.
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  The situation had got worse, had it not, in terms
    58        of -----
    59        A.  Not necessarily.  If you look at two points, yes, but
    60        there is a normal variation, so those numbers higher --
