Customer Corner – The Generator Files : U.S. Coast Guard – Built To Rescue, Failed To Protect
Cummins found the United States Coast Guard doing what the United States Coast Guard is famous for: driving rescue boats
The Generator Files is a Customer Corner spin-off built from Cummins’ own generator case-study archive.
Cummins publishes customer stories celebrating generator installations across banking, mining, telecoms, manufacturing, infrastructure, education, sport and government. TCAP reads the other half of the file.
Each article starts with the relationship Cummins chose to promote, then examines the customer behind it: regulatory action, environmental breaches, employment disputes, discrimination, corruption, litigation, political controversy, governance failures and whatever else the public record turns up.
Some customers have relatively clean histories. Others have enough baggage to require fucking forklifts.
The point is not to manufacture guilt by association. It is to take Cummins’ carefully polished customer showcase and put the featured organisation back into its wider documented history.
Cummins supplies the power. TCAP opens the files.
