"Pulp and Paper Magazine"

In the February, 1998 issue of "Pulp and Paper Magazine," there is an
article entitled "Y2K Computer Compliance Crisis Builds on Pulp and Paper
Mill Operating Floors." Here is an example they cited:

"As an example, Cubine and Bruhn point to a case involving a turbine
generator. The system used a pulse train temperature sensor reporting back
to a programmable controller. The controller was counting pulses between
two time stamps and assigning a temperature value. In doing a Y2K rollover
test on the system, <a vendor> found that the assigned temperature value
went to infinity at the year 2000, which immediately started the shutdown
procedure." (p. 80, col. 3)

Hope that helps -
