  • Re: welding tractor for bridge - 2 lines railway span

    From Henry Mateo@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 2 06:03:36 2023
    Welding a tractor for a 2-line railway span is an important and difficult task that takes a lot of skill and accuracy.

    To make sure the bridge is safe and the structure is sound, you need to know a lot about how to build and how the bridge is put together.

    You need to go back to the kiddy pool , Henry . Rich is probably one of
    the most experienced weldors on this USENET NEWSGROUP - screw polytech , they're stealing content and representing it as their own product . I've
    read most everything Richard has posted and while I didn't understand a
    lot of what he wrote , what I did understand has made me a better weldor .

    Belated comment and response.

    I would like to dedicate much to the mentoring of the late Randy
    Zimmerman.
    Who contributed much to this group.
    We continued in private communications.

    He mentored me from the late 1990's until he died a couple of years
    ago.

    I did meet him in-person in late 2008. Flying into Vancouver, I
    realised I had no idea what he looked like, so I emerged in the
    arrivals hall holding up a sign saying his name - and there he was
    approaching me.

    I have been there thinking "I could ask Randy how you actually do
    this" then I have to think no, that is now lost and I have to survive
    on what I know so far and make up the rest as I go along.

    I feel grateful to the Zimmerman family who accepted / indulged Randy
    advising me, and I owe a lot to him. As in - in all aspects of what
    is around me which bring me joy I owe a lot to how he gave me the
    means to create a life by simply doing, and the grand picture took form
    out of the activities and where it meanderingly took me.

    Ernie Leimkuhler deserves mention.
    His own clear-thinking take on things.
    Glad my writings managed to bring him amusement.

    I've had other mentoring coming from totally different places. On
    fatigue that came to me from someone who was a voice on the end of the
    phone when I dialed, and he talked me through the progression of my
    tests. From the most elementary replications of the most basic,
    through to thrusting my investigations along novel paths.

    But anyway, may I dedicate to the late Randy Zimmerman and wish well
    to his family wherever their paths have lead them.

    Regards to all
