Kueepiing Pace withu Conveyor Wingfoot Clan There are few trucks in sight at the Syncrude ail sands praject in northemn Alberta, where production recently reached 100,000 barrels a day. Trucks are few because the mountains of tar sand that must be mfoved ta the extrac- tion facilities are moved by canveyar belting, Goodyear steel-cable conveyor belting, ta be exact. The Bowrnanville plant bas produced nearly 50 kilometres of belting for the project aven the past three years. The abrasiveness of the sand, the effect of the ail on the betîng and the extremes af cahd and heat, from 35 degrees C in summer ta -40 degrees C in winter, all take their taîl, making repairs and replace- ments necessary. Repairing and splicing steel-cable canveyar belting is a specialized field and none are mare qualified ta do it than the men involved in production of the belting. Doug Hatherhy, foreman of the conveyar belt department at the Bowmanville plant, bas led repair and splicing crews ta the Syncrude site'on many occasions since tbe first Belting Goodyear belt was installed, and all the crew members have been fram his depart- ment., Working with Hatherly are Jim Martin, who has 35 years of service; Bill Bruce, who marks 25 years with Goodyear this year; Bill Lusb, a 17-year employee; George Bawering, wha has twa years af service, and Lyle Finch, with four montbs. For Finch it was the first trip ta the tar sands site. "lIt certainly is different fromn working in the plant," he commented. "And the scenery is not much like what I'rn used ta around Bowmanville" For the veterans, summer is the best time. "Af ter you beat the masquitos," Martin said, "4you've got it made. In winter, it draps ta 40 below here and that's not what yau'd cali comfortable." But comfortable or flot, the Goodyear crews can be relied upon ta do the job, according ta Hatherly. "It's bard work and we are unider pressure a lot of the time because the conveyar belting carnies the tar sand ta the extractars. If there's a beit aut' of service it casts aur customer money. " Somne of the entertainment was provided by this saxophone quartet, from lef t to right, Steven Haynes, Kevin Lowery, Will Scoffield and Andre Lambier.
