Soon after Hjortsvang returned from Pittsburgh,Bruder joined BART, working in a different group than Hjortsvang.
He also became concerned-about the Westinghouse test procedures and about tire testing schedule, but was unable to get his concerns addressed by BART management.
Both Hjotsvang and Bruder were told that BART management was satisfied with the test procedures Westinghouse was employing. Management felt that Westinghouse had been awarded tire contract because of its experience and engineering skills and should be trusted to deliver what was promised.
