Our Test and Measurement segment had revenues of $924.0, $810.4 and $1,100.3 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This segment engineers and manufactures branded, technologically advanced test and measurement products used on a global basis across the transportation, telecommunications and utility industries. Our technology supports the introduction of new systems, expanded services and sophisticated testing and validation. Products of the segment include specialty diagnostic service tools, fare-collection systems and portable cable and pipe locators. Our specialty diagnostic service tool products include diagnostic systems and service equipment, as well as specialty tools. We sell specialty diagnostic service tools to franchised vehicle dealers of original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"s), as well as aftermarket franchised and independent repair facilities, under brand names including OTC, Actron, AutoXray, Tecnotest, Autoboss and Robinair. The major competitors to these product lines are Snap-on Incorporated and the Bosch Group. We are a primary global provider of diagnostic service tools for motor vehicle manufacturers' dealership networks such as those associated with General Motors, Volkswagen, Chrysler Group LLC, Ford, Renault, Nissan, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, John Deere, Honda and Harley Davidson. Sales of specialty service tools essential to dealerships tend to vary with changes in vehicle systems design and the number of dealerships. The past two years have been quite challenging for the vehicle service market due to the economic stress on the global OEMs and the lack of demand within the global aftermarket. The changes that have occurred in the automotive industry are leading to increased global competition among OEMs. Recently there have been signs of recovery within the vehicle service market resulting in organic growth in 2010. We optimized our global footprint by reducing our North American cost structure and integrating our overseas operations. We also have transitioned key internal resources to Europe and Asia Pacific to focus on our expansion in these regions. Over 42% of our 2010 vehicle service revenues related to sales outside North America. Over time, we expect this percentage to increase as we expand our relationships with OEMs globally. Specifically, we see significant opportunities in China and India as market data suggests that the number of vehicles in these countries will increase greatly over the next decade.
