DISASTER!
FIRE - ON THE MORNING OF October 1,1974, Gordon
W. Ross L.T.D. was destroyed by fire?
It is hard enough to meet schedules at times, without
having your production equipment consumed! Now - to
get back to printing . . . a real rough job for Gordon
W. Ross L.T.D., production manager Mike Summers.
On Tuesday, November 19, 1974, Webex, Inc. sent an
engineer to Montreal, Canada to inspect the fire damaged
plant to determine if any of the drive components could
be salvaged from the chill rolls. Because delivery was
critical, this was very important, December 1974, Webex
sent a 3-man crew to remove the necessary items - January
26, 1975, and the chill was completely finished and
ready for shipment to Canada.
Overly, Inc. was given the go-ahead in the beginning
of December, however, they were forced to procure all
of the purchased components and fabricate a Type-3000E
High Velocity Dryer from scratch - in time to ship with
the chill section. Impossible? No, but it is not easy
to engineer, build test and deliver a two pass dryer
in two months. However, the wheels were set in motion.
The dryer shipped the same day as the chill rolls!!
Not only that, but a web was passed Thursday, May 27,
1975 - after only 71/2 hours required to test, balance
and start the dryer. And, it ran perfectly!
This is cooperation at its best . . . MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
in dryer performance and customer service.
But - Please don't wait for a problem like this to
try our service!!
