Besides being the global authority of the latest specification and processing of metals, it has an archive of historic documents back to the 1500’s including hand written notes of Thomas Edison that Grumbles is looking at.

Our private guide was willing to snap a pic of us at one of the legs of 103 ft. high geodesic dome designed by R. Buckminster Fuller. It really is a symbol of man’s mastery of his metal resources.

We then visited an old friend and customer/vendor in the steel fabricating business from the 13 years I operated my own company and which Grumbles is now involved with. Here he stands next to a 1,000 ton x 20 ft. pressbrake.

Custom steel fabrication involves the forming and assembly of materials to the customers specification. This company leans toward the heavy side with equipment like this one Grumbles is standing next to and able to roll a 1” thick x 8 ft. wide, steel plate into a cylinder.

Here Grumbles stands next to a roll able to form a 4in. x 4in. solid steel bar, or a 15 in. I-beam into a ring. The machine occupies a space of 12 ft. x 18 ft. x 10 ft. below the floor with only the rolls above.

We finished our opportunities to explore some work related interests with a visit to Lincoln Electric that has its world headquarters and manufacturing facilities here. Lincoln is the worlds largest maker of welding equipment and supplies.

The next day was much more leisurely and one we spent with a personal interest of Grumbles. I’ll be back soon with some pics of that.

WOW, terrific stuff PF! I bet Grumbles enjoyed it all.
I can't wait for the next batch of pics. 
You have a nice looking family. I know the grandkids captured Grumbles attention. He loves family gatherings.
TY for sharing PF. |

On Saturday we were able to set our own pace and an easy one we did. Grumbles wanted to take a look at a WWII submarine that is anchored here, so we visited the USS Cod.
