Wide Variety inAssignments ofD&R Department

The men of Inco who travel farand wide helping industry solve itsday-by-day metallurgical problems,or work with the advance guardon the scientific frontiers fashion-ing metals to measure for theworld of tomorrow, were welcomevisitors at Copper Cliff this month.

Elsewhere in this issue is an ac-count of their tour of the opera-tions, which was as much a plea-sure to their hosts as it was tothem. Their comings and goingswere regarded with unconcealedinterest by the rank and file ofthe employees who chanced to benearby, and who observed withrelief that this seldom-seen branchof the great Inco family is notcomposed of frigid intellectualsfrom outer space, but is just agroup of regular guys who look asif they would make first-classfriends and neighbors.

The Triangle asked their leader,Frank LaQue, who is a vice-presi-dent of The International NickelCompany, Inc., in addition to be-ing manager of the developmentand research division, to state afew recent examples of the workthey do. His reply, which follows,gives a good idea of the far reachof their activities, and the imagin-ation and technical know-howthey must come up with, as archi-tects of industrial progress:

Offshore Radar Warning

An engineering firm called uponto design the so-called "Texastowers" being used in the U.S.A.offshore radar warning system washelped in choosing the best way toprotect these structures from cor-rosion in the several zones frombelow the mud line, through thesea water, the tidal zone and splashzones up into the salt air.

into corrosion engineers recom-mended the several protectivesystems being used, includingMonel clad steel for the criticaltidal and splash zones where cor-rosion is most severe. Inco me-chanical and welding engineersadvised on the fabrication prac-tices that were used.

Ships to Carry Gas

There is growing interest in thetransportation of liquefied petro-leum gases, such as butane andpropane from the Middle East toEuropean ports, for use as a fuel.Ships to carry these products musthave tanks or compartments ableto hold the liquefied gases at sub-zero temperatures. They must bebuilt of materials that can befabricated readily and which willnot be brittle at the low tempera-tures.Inco engineers are being con-

Nickel Park,

suited on the materials to be usedwhich could be 9% nickel steel orstainless steel containing about 8%nickel. Inco research has develop-ed special welding electrodes thatwill be required in the fabricationof such vessels, particularly whereit is necessary to make strongtough welds between dissimilarmetals.

Better Gas Turbines

To be economical, it is necessaryfor industrial gas turbines to use alow grade fuel oil which frequentlycontains substantial amounts ofcorrosive impurities such as vana-dium oxide, sulphur and salt water.The products of combustion ofsuch fuels are very destructive tothe parts of the turbines thatoperate at high temperatures.Inco engineers have been work-

ing on this problem in such waysas developing more corrosion re-sistant alloys, treating the fuel toinhibit attack by the corrosivechemicals, and even exploring thepossibility of using platinum as aprotective coating for the turbineblades.

Tougher Grinding MaterialsIn the ore and cement grinding

industries nickel-alloyed chillediron - NI-Hard - is being de-veloped as the most economicalmaterial for grinding balls andmill liners. Inco foundry engineerswork with the producers in per-fecting foundry practice in mould-ing and pouring so as to insuresound castings and in devisingheat treatments that will put theiron into the best condition forthis service.

Copper Cliff, September, 1956

High Temperature AlloysThe never-ceasing effort to im-

prove the efficiency of steam powerplants requires operation at higherand higher temperatures and pres-sures. Inco engineers were calledin to advise on the selection ofalloys to handle steam at a pres-sure of 5,000 psi and a tempera-ture of 1200° F.

This has required the develop-ment of special alloys capable ofoperating safely for many yearsunder conditions where a fewhundred hours life was the bestthat could be achieved in the earlydays of the jet engines whichoperated at this temperature. Inaddition to alloy development, Incoengineers have been consulted onthe problems of fabrication andwelding that will be encounteredin the erection of these super criti-cal steam power plants.

Steam Plant CorrosionThe waters in Havana Harbor

are so polluted with sewage andindustrial wastes that the steamcondenser tubes in the tide-waterpower plants are corroded veryseverely and have an unsatisfac-tory short life.

Inco corrosion engineers havebeen working with the power plantengineers in advising on whichcondenser tube alloy can be ex-pected to be most economical inthis peculiar water and in carryingout corrosion tests at the site toguide the proper selection ofmaterials.

Farm Tractor Gears

A large manufacturer of farmtype tractors experienced prema-

i ture failures of certain gears inthe transmission. Inco metallur-gists studied the problem and wereable to recommend the selectionof a nickel alloy steel and a heattreatment that eliminated thefailures that had been encount-ered.

Nickel Plating Studies

Most of the nickel used for elec-troplating is for decorative pur-poses, as on automobile bumpersand the like. During this criticalperiod when it is necessary tostretch the nickel supply as far aspossible, Inco engineers have beenworking with the platers to obtainthe best possible performance ofcoatings that fall short of the op-timum thickness of nickel.

Looking to the future of indus-trial applications of nickel platingto expand the market and make itless dependent on style factors,Inco plating specialists are de-veloping new uses, such as creatinga smooth corrosion-resistant sur-face on textile spinning machineparts, providing corrosion protec-tion to piping and vessels in che-mical and food plants, and as asubstitute or supplement to tinfor tin cans.

Gas Turbines for CarsThere is considerable activity ill

the automotive industry lookingtowards the eventual substitutionof gas turbines for piston en-gines in automobiles and trucksInco engineers are working closeirwith the automotive engineers infinding economical alloys that willmake this big development possible

Don StringerCanada's BestOlympic Hope

Regarded as Canada's best hopefor a gold medal in the Olympicsat Melbourne, Australia, at theend of this year, Don Stringer ofSudbury Canoe Club is traininghard for the greatest test of hiscareer.

The powerful big paddler, whois seen in the cover picture of thisissue digging deep during a work-out on Lake Ramsay, will leaveabout November 10 from Van-couver for Australia. He willcompete in the 10,000 metre sirgle

The size of this year's party, 105,was an illustration of how Incohad expanded its development andresearch activities during this briefinterval.

It was a busy two days for thevisitors, and when it was over theyknew for certain they'd been on atour, but they followed every phasewith the keenest interest, asked alot of pertinent questions, and tookaway to their customers and col-leagues a graphic impression ofthe mighty industry they representand its all-out effort to meet thefree world's insatiable demands fornickel.

Inco offices in Milan. Italy, andMexico City were among theseveral with an employee at thegathering, although the majoritycame from three principal cate-ories, the heads of the divi: ion's

technical sections in large indus-trial centres, the heads of thetechnical section in the researchlaboratory at Bayonne. New Jer-,ey, and key personnel from the

blade singles at the Olympics onNovember 30, and in the 1,000metre singles on December 1.

Earl "Doc" Whittal of the La-chine Canoe Club, coach of theOlympic games paddling team,who has been giving Don somespecial attention this month, saysall Canada will be proud of thisSudbury boy when the races areover.

Don took up paddling in 1948and two years later won the Cana-dian juvenile singles champion-ship. In 1951 he moved up anotch, taking the Canadian juniortitle and also winning the 10,000metre open, but his hopes of catch-u1g a berth on the Olympic teamwere dashed when he upset hisboat in the trials at Ottawa, andCanada went to Helsinki withouthim.

A policeman for almost 40 years, Arthur Shute recently retired on

pension from the Creighton police detachment , of which he had been

a member since 1943 . He is seen receiving a purse from Constable

Addle Challa, representing the Copper Cliff Police Association. At the

left is Chief A. F. Runciman , who also presented him with a gift from

the police department fund, and at the right is Sergeant Hugh Grant,

in charge of the Creighton detachment. Constable Shute was born

near Wiarton , Ont., and during his career in police work was chief

there. He also had wide police experience in Alberta . He leaves the

Inco force with a host of good wishes for happiness in retirement.

he broke a record set away backin 1936 by the famous FrankAmyot. The following Labor Day,in a meet at Washington, he beatFrank Havens, the American whohad won a gold medal at theOlympics. During the next threeyears he continued his brilliantrecord in both the Canadian andNorth American championships.That he has a champion's fight-ing heart was certainly shown thisyear in the Canadian meet when,despite an intense pain that de-veloped in his side he refused toquit and completed the 10,000metre course, placing second. HisCanadian record for this event, setin 1955, still stands, 56 minutes and54 seconds, almost a full minutefaster than the 1952 Olympic time.

upon as his specialty, giving fullscope to his rugged physique andterrific staying power, he is justas highly rated for the 1,000 metreevent. in which he holds the NorthAmerican record of 4 minutes and32 seconds, compared to the 1952Olympic time for this event of4:56:3. Nobody who has competedagainst Don would be surprised tosee the rangy, likeable big 22-year-old emerge a double winner atMelbourne if wind and water con-ditions happen to break to hisstyle and liking.

He will take with him the bestwishes of the entire Inco family,of which he has been a memberduring the past four summers asa student employee, working atFrood-Stobie and in the transpor-

While almost everyone at Frood-Stobie knew smiling, roly-poly

"Holy Smokes,"few would re-cognize him asMatt Trpcich,the name ap-pearing on hisemployment re-cord. He retiredrecently on dis-ability pensionwith close to 23years' service.

That was a banner year all roundfor Art, since in addition to joiningforces with Inco he also joinedhands with Violet Dube of NorthBay. He is more than happy withthe results of both associations ashe reflects back over 26 happilymarried years, six fine children anda comfortable Inco pension.

Linemen LearnNew Methods

Performing artificial respirationon an electrocuted lineman hang-ing unconscious from his pole strapatop a power line pole sounds like avery difficult assignment, but apicked team of linemen recently Ishowed how it can be done quicklyand effectively.

Sponsored by the Electrical Em-ployers' Association of Ontario, thedemonstration is touring the pro-vince to reach the line employeesof both public and private enter-prise. A. E. O'Brien, Inco's super-intendent of safety, said the newmethod has been adopted by theCompany's line crews.

When lowering a victim froma pole cannot be swiftly and safelycarried out, on-the-spot aid mustbe given.

In pole top resuscitation therescuer maneuvers the victim andhimself into a position where thevictim is sitting astride his lapwith his legs on either side of therescuer's pole strap. He thencircles the victim's body with hisarms and applies pressure with hishands (finger tips almost touch-ing) to the diaphragm just belowthe front lower ribs. The rhythmis the same as for the prone pres-sure method of artificial respira- Ition. Raising and lowering thevictim's arms in an are is alsoeffective where movement is notrestricted or dangerous.

222 New Members for IncoQuarter Century Club Roster

Toronto Maple Leafs, who are using Sudbury Arena as trainingheadquarters this year in preparation for the National Hockey Leagueseason, moved out and set up shop in Stanley Stadium at Copper Clifffor a few days to make way for one of the most important events on theArena calendar, the annual dinner meeting of the Inco Quarter CenturyClub on September 27.

On this and the next three pages are photographs of the 222 menfrom the mines, mills, smelters and copper refinery who have completed25 years' credited service with the Company and thus qualify for mem-bership in the club this year. Failing short of last year's record groupof 269, the 1956 class of new members nevertheless is still one of thelargest ever to enter the distinguished ranks of Inco's service veterans.A subsequent issue of the Triangle will carry pictures of the new membersjoining the Port Colborne branch of the Quarter Century Club this year.

As usual it has been a great pleasure for the Triangle to make thephotographs of this fine group of men and publish them in the perma-nent record of the achievements of the Inco family.

Craneman forOver Forty Years

Retiring on pension after over40 years of service, Felix Belangerof Coniston remarked that if hewere to start anew he would repeatthe formula he has used all theseyears: get a job with Inco, learn tolike the work you are doing, andmake friends. That this recipehas paid off for Felix is indicatedby the fact that today at 65 helooks, feels and acts like a man15 years his junior.

The old racetrack at Chelmsfordwas the site of the farm on whichFelix was born in 1891, and hisparents later operated the hotel inthat town. In addition his fatherran the livery stable and also actedas justice of the peace when theneed arose. Some schooling anda couple of years in the lumber millat Chelmsford gave Felix enoughcourage to invade Sudbury in 1909.In 1913 the Mond Nickel Companycompleted their new smelter atConiston and when men were re-quired for a three-shift operationFelix was on the spot. But for ashort period at Copper Cliff when

Coniston was down, he remainedthere until his retirement.

Most of his 40 years have beenspent as a crane operator, the last37 of them operating No. 2 crane

on the converters almost exclu-sively. Felix enjoyed his work -so much so, in fact that after re-turning to Coniston in 1930 he sayshe missed only four shifts, andthose due to illness. Felix alsoproudly states that he has had noaccident nor any trouble in allthat time, a fine record indeed.

In 1915 he married Nellie Mod-este of Crean Hill and in additionto their 41 years of happiness, theyhave four children and 10 grand-children. Adjutor, their eldest, is

employed at Coniston; Felicia isMrs. Van Dett of Ottawa, whereFrederic works in the civil service,Joseph is a medical technician inVenture, California, a spot thatFelix and his wife are eyeingseriously as their future winterquarters.

While seldom an active parti-cipant Felix has always been aloyal sports fan, with Coniston RedSox and the Sudbury Wolves re-ceiving the lion's share of his at-tention in season. TV wrestlingnights usually find him close tothe hearth.

Good health and a happy familyare two things of whi^_h Felix isvery appreciative. May lie andhis wife long enjoy both of them,is the wish of their many friends.

"Not a chance , lady," answeredthe father. " He bites!"

Name WinnersFor GardensIn Inco Towns

A steady increase in the numberof Inco people beautifying theirhomes by making flower beds andplanting shrubs is noted in thereport of the agricultural depart-ment accompanying the annualannouncement of g a r d e n i n gawards. Especially in the newhousing sections at Levack andLively was a quickening of interestin horticulture apparent.

The judges of this year's gardencompetition in Inco towns, Mrs.W. K. Kettle of Bracebridge andTom Vickers of Sudbury (a brotherof Jack Vickers of the copper re-finery), expressed admiration ofthe results achieved. "The peoplewho plant beauty around theirhomes keep the grounds neat andtidy," Mr. Vickers observed, "givepleasure not only to themselves butalso to their neighbors and thepasserby. They make the world abetter place to live in."

Lawns were generally good, thejudges found, although someshowed the effect of the prolongedAugust drought at the time ofjudging. The display of bloom byflowers was much better than in1955 due to a cooler season causinga slower rate of maturity.

In the 35th annual competitionof the Sudbury Horticultural So-ciety Inco people also distinguishedthemselves. Mrs. Roy Day, whosehusband works at Frood-Stobie,was grand champion of the show

After reading an advertisementin Poland in 1927, Mike Zymasigned for the wheat fields of Mani-toba but when the train reachedSudbury he got off by mistake,walked to Coniston, and looked upsome of his countrymen establishedthere.

When he had learned enoughEnglish to get by, Mike landed a

Job at Creighton. He was laid offin 1932 owing to the depression,and took the opportunity to pay avisit to his homeland. By 1936 hewas back at Creighton as a per-manent institution, remaining thereuntil his retirement on pensionthis summer. For the past 10years or more he was a shaft in-spector, taking pride in having thequalifications for this importantwork.

Foreman in the pig storage de-partment at the copper refinerythroughout his 26 years of serviceexcept for the first few monthsafter he joined up, Matt Zimmer-man recently retired on servicepension at the age of 60.

Born in 1895 in Yugoslavia wherehis father operated a big farm,Matt by the time he reached 16was running farms where, at har-vest time, as many as 30 teams ofhorses and a hundred men wereemployed, producing food for thearmy.

Coming to Canada in 1920 hetried several jobs and then headedfor the States, but returned threeyears later convinced that Canadawas the country for him. Eventu-ally he became a sticker at Swift's,where on good days he would per-

form this operation as many as2,000 times, Finally wearying ofthe slaughter and of rambling,Matt came to Sudbury in 1929 andthe following year found the peace-ful, friendly place he was lookingfor at the copper refinery.

Over the years Matt has shownsound business acumen and is nowthe owner of several properties thatrequire considerable of his time.This coupled with gardening andhis camp at Milnet will keep thedays well filled for him but he'llalways have time to miss the oldgang back at the refinery.

Matt has three children, youngMatt and Evelyn, both of Windsor,and Eddie, who is with the RCAFat Halifax. Periodic visits withthem make life really worthwhile,he says.

countless hours of reading orscanning by busy men and alsoquite frequently points up someitem of interest or value thatmight otherwise be overlooked.

Inco subscribes regularly to some85 technical periodicals in addi-tion to government reports, tech-nical society reports and othercomplex data. Wading throughthis welter of formulae, theories,methods, inventions, improvements,

1 etc., of a thousand and one opera-tions, librarian Ken Robb managesto extract the essence of anythingthat might be of special interestat Inco.

Ken's instinct in deciding whatis of value or not is somethingeven he has difficulty in explain-ing, but this talent appears to stemfrom more than 10 years of techni-cal reading, observing and fillingrequests for information and facts.

When an article catches Ken'seye he marks it and later thesearticles are transcribed in a con-densed form, or abstracted. Theword abstract is defined as a sum-mary which shortens yet retainsthe essential features of a largerwork, and that is one of the dutiesKen performs for all branches anddepartments of Canadian opera-tions.

Shortly after World War IIconsiderable technical knowledge,hitherto on the secret list, was re-leased and made public in manytrade journals. With so muchmaterial available it was decidedat Inco to abstract anything ofinterest in order that Inco opera-tors and researchers be keptabreast of this sudden surge of in-dustrial know-how that was sweep-ing the land. At present thelibrary files contain reference toabout 15,000 abstracts filed andcross indexed so that Ken or as-sistant librarian Dzintra Sinhubermay quickly track down any elu-sive article.
