Your Questions on Industrial Equipment and Supplies Answered

Welcome to this blog. In this space, I am going to address many of the questions and concerns I have heard about industrial equipment and supplies over the years. I come to this issue from a unique angle. I have worked in a factory and heard firsthand many of the frustrations my coworkers had with different equipment and how it was used. Later, I worked in an office at an industrial facility and got a firsthand look at how "management" sees these issues.

Now, I'm fully retired, and I'm starting this blog to keep myself active. I plan to answer all of the questions I heard through the years and more.
