POSNER, Circuit Judge.
We begin by introducing the parties, and their dealings out of which this case arises. Pileco, the plaintiff and appellee— a wholly owned subsidiary of the other appellee, Bauer — sells and leases machinery for use in construction projects. One of the machines Pileco sells and leases is a trench cutter manufactured by Bauer. It is a huge steel machine — roughly 40 feet high and weighing 40 tons — designed to cut into bedrock.
