Common Market"A Fertile Area"For Nickel Sales

"We ai'e greatly stimulated bythe formation of the CommonMarket and expect that it will pi'ogres,sively provide gi'eat,ei' oppoi'-tunities for nickel," Henry S.Wingate chairman of the boardof The International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited, told theFranco-Canadian Chamber ofCommerce. The occasion was aluncheon meeting held in Parisat the Salon France-Ameriquewith M. De Boh'sieu, president ofthe chamber, presiding.

Mr. Wingate reviewed the gi'owthand expansion of the nickel indus-try and its traditional associationwith France and other Eui'opeancountries. He ,said that as a con-sequence, the Company has i's-organized and strengthened tech-nical bureaux the first of whichwere established in Paris London,and Frankfurt in 1927 - 'withthe view to harmonizing theirefforts with the oppoi'tunities pro-vided by the Common Market.Each bureau is aiming at theprospect, not only in its own ter-ritory, but throughout the entirearea of the Common Market".

"We have undertaken, for ex-ample, to persuade the steel indus-try to establish foul' standardgrades of nickel-containing alloysteels throughout all of ContinentalEurope in place of a great varietyof proprietary steels, all slightlybut confusingly different and over-lapoing in composition and pro-pei'ties," he continued. "Ourobjective is to simplify the specifi-

We ai'eundertaking an effort to havespecifications adapted for nickelplating consistent with those inother manufacturing areas, suchas Canada and the United States.Such specifications will establishminimum standards for diferentuses and thercby assist the manu-facturers in meeting competition Ininternational markets and givequality assurance to consumers."

Pointing out that the combinedcapacity of International Nickelsmines at Sudbury and Thompsoncuri'ent.ly exceeds 400 000,000pounds of nickel annually - nearly30 to 40 times what Canada herselfcan consume - Mr. Wingate said,"All this activity to find and expand uses for nickel containingproducts, not only here, but allover the world, is spurred by thedesire to create markets largeenough to more fully make use ofour greatly expanded productioncapacity". He noted, however thatthe very history of the nickel in-dustry in Csnada and of the Com-pany has traditionally been oneof dependence on its success in thedevelopment of markets for themetal and particularly the exportmarket.

Mr. Wingate made reference towhat had been said In variousInternational Nickel annual re-ports to illustrate the Company'smore-than-60-year tradition ofmarket development, at one pointciting the reference in the annuali'epoi't for 1909 to the applicationof Monel nickel-copper alloydeveloped by the Company in 1905- as a roofing material for thelarge terminal of the PennsylvaniaRailroad in New York. "Time hasproved," he said, 'that this earlyexample of what we now call appli-cation engineering was sound, sincethe roof is still serving today."He mentioned that as far back as1913 the Company had reported toits shareholders that 'developmentof new uses for nickel has becomeyour management s most importantwork,"

In reference to the importantpai't played by Fi'ance, one of thefounders of today's Common Mar-ket., in the development of markets

Picture shows himchatting with R. B, Saddington, manager of reduction works,"Those boys are wonderful, wonderful," he said of the victorious Levackteam. "But I think our old team could have given them a good runfor their money," he added with a big Irish smile.Mr. McNeice retired on pension in 1957 at age 63 from the reverberatoryfurnace department at Copper ('liff, where he was a general foreman,He had over 30 years of service.

Torn O'NeillAn Irishman who, after 40 years

in Canada still has many of hisroots deep in Killarney soil, TomO'Neill has been sidelined fromactive service at Stable and isalking seriously of returning to

his beloved Ireland. "I could stillmake a good living there, youknow," he said, just c'atchinmussels and doing a bit of pros-pecting."

Raised on a spit of land on thecoast Hear Killarney - "the waveswashed right over our houFe inwinter" -- Tom helped his fatherfarm and fish, and also attendedschool until the day he taughtthe headmaster's son who was thebetter Irishman. He was 14 thenand had no alternative but to runaway from home, or so he thenthought.

He went to sea on a fishingsmack and saw German subsaplenty during the war years.Later he helped smuggle in gunsfor the Sein Finns. 'We hid themin barrels of flour,' he recalled.Driven out of the area by theBlack and Tan, Tom decided thatfaraway hills looked even greenerthan Ireland so on the most auspi-cious day of 1922 they could choose,St. Patrick's Day, he and a brotherleft for Canada.

Coming to an uncle at Dauphin,Manitoba, Tom a couple of yearslater bought a poolrooni and barbershop in the Turner Valley but firewiped out that venture. Next camebuilding grain elevators and thenconstruction work at Churchill

Anode CastingSlick Operation

Middleman between smelter andrefinery at Incos fully integratednickel plant at Thompson, Mani-toba. is the anode casting depart-inent where molten bessemer mattefrom the converter aisle is pouredinto moulds to produce nickel sul-phide anodes for use in the elec-trolytic refining process.

Matte from the smelter is storedat the end of the converter aisle intwo holding furnaces, from whichit is charged to a refractory linedladle car holding approximatelyfour tons, Powered by a propanemotor, the ladle car operates be-tween the holding furnaces andthe anode moulds on a narrowguage track. The car moves alongthe row of moulds, pausing at eachmould to pour a 475-lb. anode.

When the freshly poured anodeshave solidified and cooled to 1100degrees Fahrenheit, an anodelifter removes them from themoulds and places them in an-nealing boxes. These boxes, eachholding 14 anodes, are moved backto an adjoining storage area wherethe anodes are subjected to con-trolled cooling to a temperature of300 degrees F.. The anodes arethen removed by a box crane andtransported by narrow gauge trainto the nickel refinery.

A former champion Sudburyhorticulturist, Mrs. Wm. Chaddock,is putting her talents to the testout in the new town of Thompson.

The grounds of her home onJuniper Drive, it's a safe bet, willbe a delight to behold and aheartening example to those sadsouls who despair, "Oh. you can'tgrow anything here."

Picture shows her hard at workon building a rock garden. Thetime was early June. Our Sep-tember issue, we hope, will showwhat she accomplished.

"Of course our growing seasonis shorter here than in Sudbury,maybe two weeks to a monthshorter," said this perennially en-thusiastic gardener, 'but we haveour advantages. The plants winterover better because of our heavysnow cover. And we get tremen-dous sunshine - it's not darkuntil after 11.00 - so everythinggrows twice as fast."

The soil, she says, is excellent.A department of agriculture testshowed she wouldn't need to addlime or fertilizer for three years.

Preparing for her 1962 garden,Mrs. Chaddock started 130 varieties

of plants in the house. She'sreally experimenting, too, withsuch oddities as mesemdryanthem-um, an exotic flower somethinglike a cactus; arctotis, an Africandaisy, and gazania, another tropi-cal plant. She tried the blue-flowered oxypetalum but it didn'tcome up. She's also trying a lotof vines, such as Kudzu, Thun-bergia, Japanese Hops, Canary-bird, Honey, and Balloon.

Mrs. Chaddock's love of garden-ing - "it has grown until it's prac-tically a disease" - stems fromher interest in floral designing.You have to have flowers if you'regoing to go in for floral designs."You might say I'm a designingwoman," she quipped.

Gardening is a family affairwith the Chaddocks. Her hus-band and sons look after the vege-tables and the lawn while she con-centrates on the flowers.

A wise old Scot, asked to settlea dispute between two brothersabout a fair division of theirfather's estate, advised: Let onebrother divide the estate and letthe other have the first choice.

Born at Queyon, P.Q., an Irishfarming community, from whencealso came good men like Art Leni-han, Jack and Jim Radey, theMoyle brothers, Roddy Coyle, andMike Muldoon, Tom arrived inSudbury in 1915 and got a job asbrakeman on the dinky engine run-ning up to the ore bins at theMond plant in Coniston. Therehe met Stella WaLsh, secretaryto the plant cashier and latermanager, W. A. McDonell. Theywere married in 1919. Her sisterElizabeth, who became Mrs. HairyStephenson, was secretary to themanager, Dr. C. V. Corless.

\'iIfred Jacques andMetro Bettio

Two old Copper Cliff converterhands, who recently joined theirever increasing family of Incopensioners, were feted at a finestag party held at the ItalianClub in Copper Cliff. Picturedbelew with superintendent ofsmelters Jack Lilley and convertersuperintendent Bud Feick areWilfred Jacques, long time shiftboss, and Pietro Bettio, who firstworked at Copper Cliff over 40years ago.

Pietro canie over from Italy in1920 and started in the smelter atCopper Cliff that same year.Later he worked a number of yearsin the old quartz mine at Coniston,then in 1929 went back to CopperCliff on the blast furnaces. Hemoved over to the converters in1931. He punched and worked atmany jobs there and was wellliked by all.

Back in 1927 he made a trip toItaly and early the following yearmarried Irma Condotta whom hebrought to Canada the same year.They have two daughters, Elsa,whose husband Don Smith is inthe plate shop, and Lydia, whomarried the electrical departmentsBob Canipini. Their son Sam,better and affectionately knownas Sambo, needs no introductionto the sports loving public; he isone of the Sudbury districts finesthockey products. Six grandchildrenround out their family.

Having lived on "the hill" InCopper Cliff since 1929 Pietro re-called that in the early days al-most everyone there kept a cow."It wasnt too many years ago wegot rid of our last one," hegrinned.

Wilf Jacques spent five yearsduring the early twenties in Wash-ington. Oregon and Californiaand was much impressed by thegrandeur of that country. Origin-ally a farm boy from southei'nOntario he also farmed in the westfor a number of years before com-ing to Sudburv in 1929. Startingfor Inco on converters at CopperCliff he never left that depart-ment, and after more than 30yeai's is convinced it's the bestplace in the plant to work.

After taking his turn at punch-ing and skimming Wilf became aconverter boss in 1945, and twoyears later a shift boss, the jobhe held at ret irenient,

In 1938 he married Margaret

lighted, and, like all other depart-nents of the plant, reflects thestrong emphasis that a placed ongood housekeeping.

The sulphide anode process forthe electrorefining of nickel, usedat Thompson, was developed atPort Colboi'ne by Inco researchscientists and engineel's, afterseven years of continuous study.

Announcement of the new pro-cess was made in March, 1958. byRalph D. Parker, then vice-presi-dent in charge of Canadian opera-tions and now senior vice-presidentof the Company. He described itas a major achievement in chemi-cal metallurgy,

It was the subject of a com-prehensive technical paper pie-sented at the annual meeting ofthe AIME at New York. Authorsof the papers were L. S. Renroni,superintendent of i'esearch atCopper Cliff and now manager ofprocess research Canada): R. C.McQuire and M. V. Barker, re-spectively manager and chief l'e-search chemist of the nickelrefining division at Port Colborne.Mr. McQuire has since died.

A main feature of the processis the direct electrolysis of nickelmatte, an ai'tificial sulphide. Thiscontrasted with the usual electro-refining methods, including thoseemployed in the nickel industry, inwhich a metal anode is used.

The new Inco process eliminatedhigh - temperature oxidation andreduction operations, with atten-dant losses of metals and sulphurand selenium. Instead, nickel sul-phlde of low copper content fromthe bessemer converter or othersource can be cast directly intosulphide anodes and electrolyzedfor the production of high qualitynickel.

Another unique feature of theprocess was that it permitted forthe first time in nickel refining,the commercial recovery of ele.mental sulphur and selenium asvaluable by-products, in additionto cobalt and precious metals con-ventionally recovered,

The interesting possibilities ofthe new method were first demon-strated in Inco laboratory tests in1951, when a small piece of castnickel sulphide was electrolyzed.It corroded smoothly, the nickeland other base metals passing intosolution leaving a precious metal-bearing anode sludge containing 97percent elemental sulphur.

A gi'eat deal of study and experi-ment went into the casting of sul-phide anodes for commercial pro-duction, the first step of the newprocess.

During the production of labora-tory sulphide anodes, a faint crack-ling sound was observed duringau' cooling. This was associatedwith microscopic, ti'anscrystallinecracks, which developed on coolingthrough the phase transformationrange. Though relatively brittle,these anodes appeared sufficientlystrong to withstand handling incommercial pi'actice.

Carl Xi1soitAn officer with the SUdbury

ni ilitia since 1935 and an Inco em-ployee since 1928. Carl Wilson hasretired on disability pension. Wellknown at the Copper Refinerywhere in the early years he servedas safety engineer and since 1949as personnel officer, Carl was alsoone of the tirst inenibers of theindustrial relations departmentstaff.

Before coining to Sudbury Carlhad worked with Fraser-Brace atThree Rivers and the Gatineau,and this experience was very help-ful in the huge construction pro-grain during hi early years atInco.

He joined the Copper Refinerystaff in 1934 and the followingyear became Inco employment'agent. Before joining the regular

army in 1940 he had also put in acouple of years as assistant to G.S. Jarrett, who was then generalsafety engineer.

Serving with the Grey and Sim-coe Foresters, Carl was later at-tached to the brigade's divisionalheadquarters. He went to Francewith the 9th battalion C.B.R.S. andthere joined the 'Kangaroos', amotorized unit. At the war end heheld the rank of major and in 1952,when he took over conunand of theSudbury 58th L.A.A. Regiment, be-came a lieutenant-colonel. He wasthe popular commanding officeruntil 1956.

Ross, who is just 10, hopes tojoin the local cadet corps when heis of age.

Born at Farnham, P.Q,, in 1905,Carl was raised at Buckinghamand worked several years with abank t.here before going withFraser-Brace in 1925.

He joined the Algonquin Rifles in1935 and held the rank of captainin the reorganized Soo-Sudbui'yRegiment. "We met in the old postoffice building," he recalled, "Thatwas in the days before we had eventhe Grey Street armories."

Carl Wilson's quiet, pleasant per-sonality has won him a wide circleof friends in Inco, and his sub-stantial contributions through hisleadership in the military estab-lishment have earned him the re-spect and admiration of the com-munity.

"Not longafter that Gillet and Porteviri car-ried on their famous woi'k on stain-less steels . and were possiblythe first to recognize and identifythe special corrosion-resisting pro-perties of the nickel-chromium-iron alloys.

Of the markets for nickel. Mr.Wingate continued. "I am gratifiedthat the Common Market offers oneof the most fertile areas becausemany nickel-containing productshad their origin here, and, as Ihave pointed out, our Company hasbeen closely allied with Europethroughout its history. Today,more than ever befoi'e, our sharesare widely held in France andother countries in Europe. In allaspects - operation, market andownership - we are an intei'na-tional company. I am confident ofcontinued progress in the Co'nmonMarket and that the area ofmutual interest and depende"eewill continue to enlarge and offersplendid opportunities to bothCanada and France."

Mr. Wingate reminded theChamber of Commerce of theviews he expi'essed at the Com-pany's annual meeting in Torontoin April that on balance it wouldbe to the interest of the Companyfor agreement to be reached join-ing the United Kingdom as a partof the Common Market.

He concluded his remarks bysaying, "Our financial statementfor the first quarter of this yecrreported the strong demand fornickel we had enjoyed. We arenow half way through the secondquarter and I am glad to be ableto say, on this occasion, that thedemand on us continues to runvery much the same as for the fli'stquarter. The demand for nickel isone of the barometers of overallbusiness conditions because nickelenters into such a wide variety ofapplications. Therefore my outlook.not only for our business but forindustry in genei'al, is verydefinitely optimistic."
