Just a clarification.
One of the two 18mm motor making machines was NOT sold/given/etc. to Quest.
When FSI got ahold of the motor making machines they did not have any instructions.
It was decided to try to get one of the 18mm machiness working but FSI did not know what air pressure(s) at which to run the machine. The result was the machine blew itself apart and was financially beyond repair.
Enter Bill Stine. Bill had one of the operations manuals for these machines (Thanks to G. Harry having one in his collection). Bill made a deal with the FSI owners. He would provide the manual and come out to FSI to get the remaining 18mm motor machine working in exchange for FSI making motors for Quest.
This was accepted and the MPC motor machine was back in action, making motors for both FSI and Quest.
