Steel plates are sandwiched into the fiberglass floor to provide secure anchoring for the seat. A large-diameter washer will be employed underneath the floorboard. The front of the seat attaches to the tubular steel brace.

Dave Rolston, Hatco president, was formerly head of engineering and can frequently be seen on the manufacturing floor. “We’re exceptionally proud of the quality of our equipment and the extent of automation that we have achieved in our laser area,” Rolston commented. “But, in the end, it is the skill and pride of our people that keeps us ‘best in class.’”

Everything is just as I’d imagined – glass and steel, soaring ceilings, expensive furniture – except the hush. I’m used to hospitals in London and Dhaka, where no matter what time you show up, it’s always a struggle to find an empty seat in the waiting room. At St Mary’s, the plush blue chairs are vacant; the panoramic views over Little Neck Bay are enjoyed only by a handful of nurses on their breaks. Because I am so absorbed in our tiny part of this story, I notice the quiet but don’t stop to wonder. In any case, our unit, the Cindy & Tod Johnson Center for Pediatric Feeding Disorders, is downstairs and abuzz. In the central area where the feeding therapists work between sessions, there is the sound of chatter and keyboards, and in the corridors, parents ferrying their children to their sessions in therapy rooms furnished with highchairs, televisions and tiny kitchenettes.

“Today we are realising that dream/strategy by being more than a one stop shop – we rather see ourselves as a turnkey operation “one stop stainless steel shop” that in many instances delivers a packaged product to site, most importantly to the discerning clients requirement. This statement is backed up by the new development in the company whereby we are now delivering our own NSSC range of retail products to the Massmart Group for the retail public, including Makro, and are soon to be listed with Outdoor Warehouse and Pick n Pay. Dealing with the retail chains you have to be on your game, where service is key and delivery cannot be compromised,” said Mischel.

We can see in table 1 the earnings per share (EPS), top-line revenue and valuation of Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Inc. and Ternium S.A. Ternium S.A. has higher revenue and earnings than Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Inc. The business with the higher price-to-earnings out of the two companies is considered for more expensive of the two firms currently. Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Inc. is thus currently the expensive of the two stocks because it has a higher price-to-earnings ratio.

Grades of Stainless Steel Commodity-grade stainless steel is 304, but look for 316-grade stainless for marine accessories. It contains molybdenum and more nickel for greater strength and corrosion resistance, and thus is preferred for most marine applications. (See “Marine Metals” for more on stainless alloys.)

Back in the 1930s the Garand was going to be adopted in caliber .276, General Marshall overruled the board and the Garand was adopted in .30/06 with a new load. The M1 Rifle came with the M1 ammunition with a 172 gr FMJBT. The M1 ammunition was soon replaced because National Guard rifle ranges would not contain the 172 grain bullet. The M2 Ball with a 150 grain FMJ Flatbase was adopted and was the standard round through WWII and Korea. Improvements in chemistry replaced the 1930s smokeless powder with Improved Military Rifle powders such as 4064 and 4895. To stay within the allowable pressure curve of the M1 Rifle the powder load was reduced, leaving about 1/2 inch of empty space in the M2 Ball ammo. After the Korean War the work on the M1 replacement included duplicating the ballistics of the M2 Ball in a shorter case. The 7.62×51 NATO aka .308 Winchester is just that. The T48 rifle [if I remember experimental number] was adopted as the M14. The M14 gas system does not have the weakness of the 2 foot long operating rod that is easily bent with powders slower than 4895 that make port pressures too high for the M1 to handle. The 6.8 SPC is a nominal 270 caliber. Making armor piercing bullets is easier with a larger diameter projectile. A tungsten steel core with a a soft lead layer under the jacket allows a heavy enough have enough mass to defeat an inch of steel armor. Since the Vietnam War aluminum alloys and deep drawing machines allow making cartridge cases from aluminum instead of brass saving 70% of the weight of the case increasing round count on a combat load. A more effective terminal performance might make up the difference in count between 5.56×45 and an aluminum cased 7.62×51 or even a 6.8×51 gaining 2700 – 3000 fps with a heavy enough bullet to be effective on cars and trucks, enemy wearing body armor, and ranges out to 1,000 + yards.

Well, Leo and myself were the only real principals in the company. Everyone else was hired hands, you might say. Forrest White was very active in running the factory, and he was very good at it, a very efficient operator. The rest of them—Dale Hyatt, George Fullerton, all the rest of them—have indicated we did this, we did that. They really had nothing to do with the company at all. They were hired hands and had no influence on the company or its designs or anything about it.

"If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got." At the beginning of 20th century, world-famous physician Albert Einstein recognized that innovation is the result of looking at things differently, and this is true in sheet metal fabrication as well. As the laser became a widespread technology for cutting applications, productivity increased dramatically for job shops looking to compete. However, when joining sheet metal, job shops have yet to fully embrace more of the benefits laser technology affords. For example, most sheet metal parts are still joined by conventional arc welding processes, such as metal inert gas (MIG), metal active gas (MAG), or tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, and these processes have seen few changes over the last few decades. The majority of conventionally welded parts still require a refinishing step—such as grinding—to achieve perfect quality, yet this additional step could easily be overcome with laser welding. This innovative approach not only opens up completely new markets for job shops, it also makes them more competitive in the global marketplace.
