Since then, the company and its product offering have expanded dramatically.

Later, you snapped together Lego pieces to make spaceships and ray guns. You tore the wrapping off your first Erector Set one Christmas and lost yourself in assembling, step by careful step, the metal girders and gears that became a skyscraper, a spinning Ferris Wheel, a walking robot. Then one weekend your dad taught you how to use his tools. You spent whole days at his workbench that summer. You carved, sanded, and painted a pinewood derby racer. You built a go-cart that you and your friends took turns coasting down hills in your neighborhood. You built a tree house thats still standing. You build things. You always have. And thats what youre doing today. Building machines isnt just a living to you its what gets you up in the morning. Its what youve loved ever since the day you said to someone who cared for you,"I made this and heard him or her respond with,"Well done.You Create the Future The creativity of machine builders has markedly changed the fields of mining, harvesting, manufacturing, processing even packaging and distribution, which in turn has transformed the common life of people worldwide by making available higher quality, less costly, safer goods. But most people dont fully appreciate how the quality of life has improved let alone give thought to itsome things people believed were strictly the stuff of science fiction as little as a decade ago are now considered commonplace. In a way, many of the things you create are hidden in plain sight from most of us. In another decade well be living in the midst of realities that dont yet exist realities that exist now only as ideas in the imaginations of people like you as you mull over how to better support the needs of your customers. And these ideas, too, are hiding in plain sight, scribbled on a paper napkin you stuffed in a coat pocket at a lunch counter scrawled on a white board in an office at the end of a hall a few sentences buried deep in a white paper waiting to be recognized for what it is: an innovation that might improve in some small way how your customers work or revolutionize it. We get what youre about. At c3controls we dont just supply things. We make things.

Over the next few decades, Cornell also offered specialty proportioning units for greases. Originally for greases and oils, the design for the VERSATOR later became useful for other industrial products and new markets like food and personal care products. The Cornell Machine Company is a third generation family owned and operated business.

Tri-Rotor, Inc. has been manufacturing "Tri-Rotor" pumps and parts to exacting standards ever since. Improvements have been designed to be completely interchangeable with original pumps, allowing us the ability to replace or retro-fit even the oldest pumps from "in-stock" parts or with minor modifications. Pump records, by serial number, are on file as far back as the 1930s. Developed in the past, proven throughout the present and custom engineered for the future.

Mr. Knaacks main outlet for these boxes was a tool supply distributor owned by his partners named Brock Tool Company. In 1962, Mr. Knaack began setting up a nationwide distribution network of contractor supply houses. In 1968, Knaack L.L.C. moved to its current location at 420 E. Terra Cotta Ave., in Crystal Lake, IL, with a new 16,000 sq. ft. facility. In the late 1960s, Mr. Knaack was looking to expand his product offerings to the contractor trade and recognized the need for a high-quality truck tool box. In 1968, Knaack L.L.C. purchased the rights to build WEATHER GUARD® Truck Equipment, a truck tool box line consisting of approximately 10 different models, from a sheet metal contractor in St. Louis, MO. He continued to build these boxes in St. Louis until 1971, when Knaack L.L.C. doubled its manufacturing capacity. The new addition included the first wash system to clean the steel and a bake oven to bake on enamel paint required on the WEATHER GUARD Boxes. In 1973, the entire line of WEATHER GUARD Tool Boxes was redesigned with features needed by the contractor markets that they served. Many of these innovations soon became the standard in the industry and were eventually copied by other truck tool box manufacturers. Always looking for new products, Hi-Side Boxes, UnderBed Boxes and van equipment items were introduced in the mid-70s. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, the company expanded product offerings in the truck and van storage equipment lines. In 1981, a powder coating system was added to its facility for WEATHER GUARD Product Lines, making the company one of the first in its industry to offer the benefits of a TGIC Polyester Powder Coating. Also in the early 80s, gas pistons were added to WEATHER GUARD Truck Boxes, making them easier to open and close, therefore being safer to use than previous versions or competitors models. In the early 80s, major additions were made to the WEATHER GUARD Truck and Van Storage Equipment lines. In truck equipment, saddle boxes, super lo-side boxes, and super side boxes were added to the truck equipment line along with an expanded line of underbed boxes and truck ladder racks. In van equipment, the line was expanded to include knockdown shelving, small and medium size parts bins, expanded ladder rack offerings and also an expanded bulkhead offering. This product expansion enabled the company to expand its base of users to include municipalities, utilities, fleets, etc. The business grew dramatically through the 80s along with its distribution base and end users. The product offerings also grew significantly in the late 80s, with the introduction of aluminum saddle boxes and the markets switch to aluminum. In the early 90s, WEATHER GUARD Truck Boxes were again redesigned to increase security, safety and durability for its end users. It incorporated many items that its users are accustomed to with the automotive industry. High-quality automotive-style locks and latches were added along with other major changes. This again set WEATHER GUARD® Truck Equipment apart from its competition.

As you know, when we tested the tuner under full power, we discovered that the switches weren’t delivering the performance we needed. Dissatisfied with the test results, and knowing it would push the delivery out, we undertook a massive redesign including a new, commercial pad cap, custom antenna switches, and a new layout. The fruit of our labors is a very efficient tuner that is an industry leader in both matching range and power handling. We ARE shipping beta units this month. Our first unit already shipped to the owner of RF Concepts, Michael Seedman, AA6DY and he was pleased with the changes and overall design of the tuner. This is a different tuner than we showed at Dayton last May. Here’s a picture of the insides. We’re planning on posting a new section in the website with lots of photos and details.
