Schwing vs. Putzmeister: Bastardring

We had a few yuks here over the weekend about news that giant liquid-spewing devices known as "Putzmeisters" were en route to squirt water all over Fukushima's hot core. A BB commenter pointed out that one of Putzmeister's biggest competitors is a company with the equally nyuk-nyuk name Schwing. So, Schwing and Putzmeister once had a legal battle over something called the Bastardring. (thanks, @smelendez).
