[In this computer system, it seems that the meters are somehow getting married and having children]

[I should not that these are not actually physical meters, but rather virtual meters for each component the hours of use/age etc. are calculated based on the information in the system. For example, if a train carriage has done 10,000 hours with a certain bogie attached then the "meter" for that bogie will show 10,000 hours in the computer system.]
