As we all know, improvement in process technology is not an one-off activity but a recurring one even though its frequency will not match that of the present day smart phones. However, we do not seem to have a special body wholly dedicated to the design, fabrication and conduction of field trials of new machinery. Whatever system we do have now is sadly inadequate for venturing into new territories with the result that much of talent is wasted due to lack of opportunities. This reminds me of Thomas Gray, an Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.
