Show Meritorious Servi of Two Field Employes Is Cited Gain in i for - Saturday November 6, 1943 13 Employes Awarded Cash Grants Suggestions for Improvements Win Up to $125 Thirteen civilian employes this week received awards of from $5.00 to $125 from Brig- adier General Morris Berman for their suggestions sub- mitted to shorten work procedures, save time and labor, and eliminate safety hazards. General Berman personally commended each of the employes and presented checks to them at the regular monthly meeting of key civilians which was held Tuesday morning in the office of the commanding general. For their invention of an adapter for the propeller governor test stand, Henry W. Leavitt and Lewis Joseph each received awards, as did Ralph E. Bell for his small magnet to be used in the spray booths in the cleaning unit, engine repair. This saves employes time formerly used to remove their rubber gloves to pick up small parts and washers. Clyde R. Stark, Sr., received a check for his table of limits for test cell operators, concerning desired oil pressure, heat limits at various points, expected oil congasoline consumption, sumption, etc. At times when such information is needed by the operator, his supervisor may be in one of the other cells, and so such a table prevents abuse of the engines being tested. The safety device suggested by Harold E. Aste likewise was rewarded. The device consists of a rivet set retaining spring for use d flush set with the large This device prevents the rivet set from coming out of the end of the rivet gun. Gayle W. HartwelPs check was received for his suggested installa -- inch tion of a pipe between air compressor in new test block and air compressor in old test block, so that the two compressors could be used interchangeably in case of a break-dow- n of either one. John C Jonea also received a cash grant for hia suggestion which consisted of placing a small box or container at each station In airplane repair for instruction sheets filled out for the stock tracer, so that crew chiefs do not have to wait for the stock tracer.
