[TheForge] Brooms and Welding Cast

[Tod Estes]

Hi Aubrey,
Nice table you found. Reads like a used car saleman chats up his rides.
Nothing against any salesmen out there used car or otherwise.
> Okay.  Checking out he Lincoln web site I found this table of electrodes:
> http://www.mylincolnelectric.com/Catalog/consumableseries.asp?browse=104|2030|
>
> One message I get from reading it is there are several different version
> of E6011 (Fleetweld 35, 35LS, 180) and seven different types of E7018!  I
> guess I need to be more specific when I ask questions.  I'm pretty sure
> Fleetweld 180 is the 6011 I've been using.  Fleetweld 47 appears to be the
> only E7014.  There sure are a bewildering number of choices.

> I think it's humerous the way Lincoln editorializes as it describes the
> electrodes instead of being purely objective.  "Here's a terrific
> all-position electrode...."  "Operators consistently give this electrode
> high marks."  "There's a long list of reasons why operators are so loyal
> to...."  This kind of promotional advertising sees odd in table like this.

Time enough for sleep in the grave.

"Prometheus: I took from man expectancy of death.
Chorus: What medicine found'st thou for this
        malady?
Prometheus: I planted blind hope in the heart of
           him.
Chorus: A mighty boon thou gavest there to man.
Prometheus: Moreover, I conferred the gift of fire
Chorus: And have frail mortals now the flame-
        bright fire.
Prometheus: yes, and shall master many arts
            thereby."
