New lmprinting fflochine Announced
A new, single-plate imprinting machine using metal address plates has been announced by Addressing Machine Company of California, Inc., 667 Mission St., San Francisco 5, California.
The machine is called the Model 101 QuikPrinter and takes one plate at a time, inserted from the front. After the plate has been imprinted on forms, a button is pressed and the plate pops out of the machine into the palm of the operator. The plate is then dropped back into file.
The machine is used for imprinting rvork of all kinds and is ideal for recording "overthe-counter" sales. At the time of sale, the customer's plate is used to head up the invoice, recording legibly and accurately the proper account name, account number, address and other data needed to complete the sale and bill it.
Excellent carbon copies are produced with the machine. It prints through snap-out sets of forms. The original copy is the best copy --ribbon printed.
Use of plates at the sales counter also provide complete credit control-no plate, no credit. Credit limits may also be coded on the plates.
For all order writing systems, use of the embossed plates accomplishes many things. Whether orders are hand-written by salesmen in the field; hand-written by order clerks at the telephone or received by mail, they can then be imprinted from plates which will insure accuracy and legibility.
When orders are validated and certified with the plate impression, the charge is made to the right accountr eliminating several accounts with slightly difterent names for the same firm. The account number is printed on the form with the plate and if perforated tape or punched cards are later used and prepared from the sales do'cument, the keypunch operator works from an absolutely correct and legible account number.
Credit limits, when shown on the plate, save "look-up" time in the credit department. Parcel post zones, routings and ship- ping instructions on the plate save "lookup" time in the shipping department. County numbers, territory numbers, salesmen numbers and similar data, when prin'ted on the order form with the plate, save "lookup" time later when distributing sales, analyzing accounts and paying sales commissions.
Imprinters are used in hospital wards to record patient data on forms of all kinds. Over 600 Model 101 Quik-Printers are now in use in the wards of California State Hospitals.
Over 30 different models of the new machine are available; one to handle any one of the commonly used styles of plates-any kind or size. Some models have features for dating forms 'from a rotary wheel dater and printing a ranch, department, ward or station name and number simultaneously with the printing of the customer plate.
In some models, the plate is inserted top edge first; in other models, the bottom edge of the plate is inserted first. When five or more machines are purchased at one time for use by the same firm, quantity discounts are applicable. Complete details are available on request from the manufacturer.
Losting Weotherprooft ng Of Wood ilode Eosy
A clear non-toxic liquid chemical that penetrates and integrates into the fibrous body of wood to preserve it against the attacks of moisture is now being marketed by Houston Waterp,roofing Manufacturing Company of Alhambra, California, a division of Houston Chemicals, Inc.
Known as Houston #3, the liquid leaves nothing on wood surfaces to interfere with the bonding of paint or other decorative finishes. Finish of paint can be applied directly without additional priming.
Houston #3 eliminates or greatly retards end checking, swelling, wraping, grain raising, and protects plywood from moisturecaused delamination.
Literature, specifications, and applications information can be obtained by writing Houston Waterproofing Manufacturing Co., 712 South Marengo Avenue, Alhambra, California.
Steel Protected By Redwoodt
Steel groinwork on a beach in Santa Barbara, California, has been deteriorated so badly by seawater that it had to be pro' tected by more durable redwood timbers. Redwood was chosen because its natural resistance to decay will give it many years of useful life despite the intermittent soaking by surf.
The groinwork on East Beach was originally installed to reduce beach erosion. The steel deteriorated so that jagged edges were a hazard, to people using the beach. The Santa Barbara street department attempted to remove the steel sheet by jetting with water. without success.
Park Superintendent Orval Bond then decided to protect the groinwork with redwood timbers so that it could continue functioning as protection against erosion, while ceasing to be a hazard to bathers.
