Edition Notes
The author worked for 30 years as a welding and fitting specialist.
Over the years he manually welded hundreds of parts for rail cars while working for Canadian Car co. in Montréal in the late 50’s. He built and welded numerous apparatus for paper machinery and rolling mills working for Dominion Engineering in Lachine Quebec and he put bridge spans together working for the Dominion Bridge co.
Later as a welder/fitter he helped build turbines for the Churchill Falls Power project in Labrador and also assembled mining equipment for large exploration companies. Building large heavy tonnage fabrications was his specialty and if something wasn’t right he was the one the engineers turned to for solutions.
He has written and published books that are the result of his experiences and which can be found in thousands of welding shops and schools throughout the American Continent and other parts of the world.
