My engineers did very well with practical as well as theoretical stuff. One technician with 10 engineers worked perfectly.
And my practical experience and skills aren't too bad either.

In one life I serviced juke boxes, and trained techs how to do it. Seeberg jukes have a mechanism - the mechanical part that scans back and forth and picks up the record and plays it - that is a mechanical marvel. A motor on a frame that drives cams and clutches and gears. Seven moving parts just to make a tiny brush quickly sweep up and down as the tone arm goes by to brush any lint off the stylus. Tone arm assembly slid side to side to get on the proper A or B side of a record. There were stacks of blade switches, oiling points, adjustment screws. I am truly impressed with this complex machine. Unfortunately whoever designed it never worked on them. Instead of an access door in the rear of the juke so you could put it in front of your nose, they made the whole mech and magazine slide forward - after you removed the front of the jukebox - and then it was hinged so it could be tilted towards you to expose the rear. And there was even a brace and chain to allow it to be suspended in that position.
