Our shipboard art auctioneers hang up art a couple of times per auction so that the attendees can only see the back of the frame. Then the auctioneer announces a "special " price that might be 60% of the listed starting price. The audience bids sight-unseen on these "polar bears in a snowstorm" and on average get the best deal of the auction. "Hold your number card up and everybody gets one." At this point mywife arrived home and noticed this gigantic frame upside down in her kitchen. "What piece of "stuff" did you buy this time?" "Its a polar bear, go ahead and look at it." My son turned it over and she said: "We are going to find a place for that!" And everyone was happy. ============================== And I have to visit Footnote.com a lot more <S> Regards Citydesk175

Management in the Old Days
I just spoke to a recently retired friend who had spent some of his formative years at Willow Run. He told me vignettes of longer GM stories from Willow Run. Many of them sounded like the type I had heard at Pontiac and I can assume the GM Culture is universal even in a red headed stepchild division liek Pontiac.
One of his stories ground on me personally because it was about a suggestion that went south. A machinist figured a way to do a cut that was fractions of a second faster and spread out over thousands of parts, really added into money. Somehow the guy's partner figured out how to put a very subtle flaw in his settings and produced a load of parts before they bounced and were traced back to his machine. Meanwhile, our hero (you remember... the one with the IDEA) polished up his suggestion submission and took it to the Foreman who laugh in his face about it cause his partner had already used up every cent of the guy's savings estimatein the suggestion. "I don't wanna see either one of you for a long time so get out! So much for a great suggestion and 20 grand suggestion award. =========================================== How else can you waste money in a subtle but very expensive way? My Uncle told me of a sheet metal cutter operator who was off on the dayhis boss wanted a dozen pieces 2 feet by 6 feet in a hurry. He had a millwright or somesuch operate the machine and every piece of metal when cut measured out at 22 inches by 6 feet. The boss went ballistic and the Millwright spent an hour looking the machine over to find out the fault. Finally, the Millwright remembered he had used the other guy's metal yardstick (by Starret or Lufkin) instead of his own. Sure enough, the yardstick was 34 inches long with inches 1 and 2 chopped off very neatly. The enraged boss had the Millwright cut the yardstick into 2 inch pieces and took them to his desk. The next day the guy was back and could not find his yardstick. He was told his boss had it. The boss got to ask the fatal question: "How long have you been adusting for the shortness of your yardstick?" "About 15 years." "You wont have to do that anymore" And the boss handed him all the pieces of his yardstick. More to come soon

BTW - one of the things that used to infuriate my dad is when someone else would use his "feeler" gages to set die clearances. Usually that would result in the ends of the feelers getting cut off. I still have a set of his gages and several of the thinner blades are neatly "trimmed"... K

My Suggestion Story
Years ago, the question came to mind: "How could GM identify customers who might be sympathetic to buying a new GM product and give them each a coupon to buy said product at the employee discount.......... and best of all, let someone else pay the postage to send each coupon out as well as address the envelope?
Once that question is formulated the answer and suggestion is easy: the Christmas card list for each employee is a gold mine of customers. Give the coupons to the employees with the request that they enclose one with each Christmas card. I $ent in the $ugge$tion with vi$ion$ of $ugarplum$......."But the answer came back: We do not accept marketing suggestions" The next year, a stack of coupons arrived on each employee's work station with the request that they be enclosed in each Christmas card sent that year. Sigh...... My protests to management went for naught and I did mot get even one sugarplum. regards Citydesk175

The P 39 had a 37mm Pontiac cannon that shot through the propeller.
The vast majority of the planes went to Russia during WWII. The Russians were famous for reverse engineering many things. The B 29, the Rolls Royce engines uses in the Mig 15. Now I do not know that they copied the 37mm in the P39. But the Russians still use a 37mm cannon today and it is a very effective weapon. |

We have a foreign policy that keeps us out of war. Havent you noticed
Dont bet on the fact that it would have been faster. besides, you cant just bolt more engines together to make more speed. They cant even do that now. Thats why the jet was a quantum leap. what problems did the corsair have in landing? Too powerfull an engine? In basic training my m16 was made by hydramatic division Last edited by Pontirag; 04-22-2011 at 11:44 PM. |

Corsair, Cant see the deck your landing on and engine had so much Torque you had to kill it before landing to avoid flipping it down on one wing, or a tail spin and crash. Still kill it on a hooked landing.
