...started when, given a chance to play with a scanner, Veasey chose to X-ray his own worn-out sneakers, the first of many "junk" items - toys, teacups, gadgets - he's since experimented with. "They may look awful on the surface," Veasey writes, "but once the internal workings are revealed ... all objects can be appreciated for their structure...

To attract old parts otherwise headed for the junkyard, the company has devised a trade-in scheme that gives customers an incentive to return worn-out goods to its distributors. If the part is deemed remanufacturable, the customer gets an already remanned replacement at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Cat is also a service provider, advising other manufacturers how to set up a similar system, or in some cases actually running their reman efforts for them. In Europe, for instance, Cat helps Land Rover manage...
