Inspiration
Has anybody really inspired you to be better.
Many, many years ago I left a small family run fridge
company and joined a large industrial company.
I went from working on compressors I could carry to
compressors I could sit inside.
Anyway one cold room had ongoing issues that we could
not bottom out so a consultant was brought in.
I, being the youngest was given the job of assisting this guy.
I learnt more from that guy in a week than in the previous
seven years (including college). He inspired me to be better
and he encouraged me to look at the system as a whole and
not, just individual components that are bolted together.
He's not around any more sadly and I don't think he knew how
much influence he had on me, but he inspired me to be better and
I always remember the week I was his apprentice.
Regards
Rob

Re: Inspiration
Not so much inspired as admired, all the crusty old fridgies that I was allowed to assist. In reality they were not crusty, nor old, but just adults and me a smart arsed upstart.

Re: Inspiration
It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...
Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.
Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.

Re: Inspiration
gotta give respect to stormin norman dawson - who taught me about chillers and damien smith now at carrier-both inspirational people,also respect to the mutants ive also had experiences with - best 1 was some dude from rochdale who after diagnosing a faulty contactor,with overload,auxillary contacts- instead of writing down terminal numbers or marking the cables with insulation tape- actually drew the contactor!!!!!!! - same chiller at barclays bank leeds- didnt recognise the arrangement of shorting links on the compressor terminals - he was going to change em!!!!!!!!-thing had been chuggin away for 20yr no problems!
