I have worked on a consulting basis with two divisions of Lucas and I thought they were pretty good. However there were minimal electrics involved in the two programs. I am not familiar with Smiths equipment so I can’t comment. Now if you want to add Marconi to the mix I can tell you some horror stories regarding the fact they never conform to the design specified by their customers and they do not take constructive criticism. I worked with them on the Tornado Program and the Airbus program and all I can say is that they suck. IMHO.
