All during the time some of the boilers were being constructed here, I was totally in awe of the machines with which they were being handled .... As you remember, I had the vending contract for the plant, and I was out there every day .... one large lathe .... there had to be a giant hole dug, something like 80 feet deep and it was appx 50x50 at ground level .... to put in the foundation. That was one of the very first computer driven machines of that kind I'd ever seen ... it was fantastic ... Of course, I was used to some of the other computerized machines .... Campbell Soup has and had a lot of them operating, and Phillips had a goodly sum of them too ... but nothing of that size ... Later, when Kimberly Clark put in their plant here I had retired from the vending so I didn't get to see any of their computer stuff .... but I have taken several tours there .... those diapers are never touched by a human as well as some of the cartons into which they're put --and even some of the cases into which the cartons are packed don't get handled by humans until they're loaded onto the shipping truck or car .... It is something --- this tech world --- but my sundial watch STILL works fine and my dillo driven generator does a hunky dory job too ...... I've been considering updating to a windmill generator to supplement things some ..... whacha think ?
