For thie men who produced the first belt there was the satisfaction that comes with a job well done. Kari Piper, a supervisor,- belting for 17 of the 22 years he has been with company, looks forward to the day the new press cures a 120-inch beit. 'Now that we've got it runrling, it shouldn't be much tougher to turn out the widest beit we can make. We'll have more cable and, material to contend with, but 1 don't see that that, should pose any secialproblems." BOb allace, who has been with Goodyear 14 years and has worked on conveyor belting for 12, is of the same opinion as Piper. "Lt really doesn't make much differenice how big the press is, if we know our job, we won't have any special problems," 2he commented. The pressris the only one in North Aneria that can pro- duce steel-cable belts 120 inches wide.' -Wingfoot Clan
