Show SCRAP PILE IS yWEWUMBlE E. E. Darling, manager of the Monarch Mon-arch Motor company, distributors for Welding Gas, says: "Broken, worn and defective metal parts, formerly considered worthless, are reclaimed for service at remarkable savings by the Prest-O-Lite process of welding and cutting." "The day of consigning expensive machine parts and other metal equipment equip-ment to the scrap pile because or a break, worn spdt or defect is quickly passing. With it is going one of the most wasteful and profit-reducing practices prac-tices which modern efficiency and engineering en-gineering have ever overthrown. "Until the development of modern welding processes, the scrap pile cost American business millions of dollars annually. Machine shops, forging plants, foundries, textile mills, paper mills, steam and electric railways, mines, shipyards, discarded thousands of costly metal parts as 'juiik,' lacking a satisfactory way of repairing breaks or worn spots which had forced parts out of service. "Oxy-acetylene wolding has obvia this waste. Savings of hundreds i even thousands of dollars yearly how being mado b" such ffrms In storing damaged equipment to erv by tiie employment of the Prest O 1 process. "The possibilities for profitably claiming and repairing metal parts literally without number. Whene metal parts are to be united, oiy ace lene welding will perform the w cheaply, quickly and efficiently, fact, in the case of broken and w. machinery, oxy-acetylene woWing usually the oiily really Batisfaet method of repair.'' |
