• ruling that plaintiffs were not entitled to 18 recover an award of both lost profits and equipment standby damages because that would have 19 placed the plaintiff in a better position than if the defendant had performed
• striking an award for equipment standby damages in a contract action by the amount that it exceeded the plaintiff’s actual lost profits and costs
• noting that receiving lost profits and unavoidable costs placed the plaintiff in the position it would have been had the contract been performed, but “[a]n award of equipment standby damages . . . would permit a double recovery and give [plaintiff] a windfall”
