enerally speaking, I write most of the editorials for Component Advertiser – but when I was speaking to Tony McCoy, our Sales Manager from Texas and South Central, he asked if he could write an article from the heart, and I just couldn’t resist publishing his thoughts. Tony has been around our Industry for a long time and he is a thorough gentlemen. Here he talks about his 30-year experience with BCMC. Wendy
The age-old adage, where does time go so quickly, was playing though my head at this most recent Building Component Manufacturers Conference in Columbus, Ohio. I have attended, or been a part of, over 30 BCMC shows since the mid-1980s. From 20 lb. IBM XT computers with 10 meg hard drives to 1 lb. Surface Pros with over 250 GB of storage. From roadside phone booths and pagers to handheld iPhones with Hotspots. From “chalking out” trusses on the ground and building on wood top tables and flip jigs to computer-aided puck tables and overhead laser systems. From “chop saws” and framing squares to big Tony McCoy computer-driven linear saws, so much has changed. Today we can design complex, multi-pitched 60’-0” trusses in mere seconds versus days. Suffice to say, we old-timers have witnessed a tremendous amount of innovation and growth in this industry.
