Memorial Day
Memorial Day
The "Memorial" in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

We Got It Wrong
We Got It Wrong
I think that by now most Americans recognize that we got it wrong in not acknowledging the courage, the valor, and the commitment of the men and women of our armed forces who fought an unpopular war. I also think they are now resolved never to let that happen again.
That's important. Because as hard and as all-consuming as war is, we cannot forget its aftermath. The broken bodies, the broken minds, and the broken families that require the continued attention of a grateful nation.

Many Americans mistakenly believe that Veterans Day is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained from combat. That's not quite true. Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor America's war dead.

What The hell Is A Millwright
What The hell Is A Millwright
Millwrights install, repair, replace, and dismantle the machinery and heavy equipment used in many industries.
The wide range of facilities and the development of new technology require millwrights to continually update their skills�from blueprint reading and pouring concrete to diagnosing and solving mechanical problems.
The millwright's responsibilities begin when machinery arrives at the jobsite.
New equipment must be unloaded, inspected, and moved into position.
To lift and move light machinery, millwrights use rigging and hoisting devices, such as pulleys and cables.
With heavier equipment, they may require the assistance of hydraulic lift-truck or crane operators to position the machinery.
Because millwrights often decide which device to use for moving machinery, they must know the load-bearing properties of rope, cables, hoists, and cranes.
Millwrights consult with production managers and others to determine the optimal placement of machines in a plant.
When this placement requires building a new foundation, millwrights either prepare the foundation themselves or supervise its construction.
As a result, they must know how to read blueprints and work with a variety of building materials.
To assemble machinery, millwrights fit bearings, align gears and wheels, attach motors, and connect belts, according to the manufacturer's blueprints and drawings.
Precision leveling and alignment are important in the assembly process, so millwrights measure angles, material thickness, and small distances with tools such as squares, calipers, and micrometers.
When a high level of precision is required, devices such as lasers and ultrasonic measuring tools may be used.
Millwrights also work with hand and power tools, such as cutting torches, welding machines, and soldering guns, and with metalworking equipment, including lathes and grinding machines.
In addition to installing and dismantling machinery, many millwrights work with mechanics and maintenance workers to repair and maintain equipment.
This includes preventive maintenance, such as lubrication and fixing or replacing worn parts.
Increasingly sophisticated automation means more complicated machines for millwrights to install and maintain.
For example, millwrights may install and maintain numerical control equipment�computer-controlled machine tools that fabricate manufacturing parts.
This machinery requires special care and knowledge, so millwrights often work closely with computer or electronics experts, electricians, engineers, and manufacturers� representatives to install it

Audel Millwrights Book
Audel Millwrights Book
Respected by generations of skilled workers, Audel Millwright's and Mechanic's Guide is the only trade manual to cover maintenance and troubleshooting for all the mechanical trades in a single volume. It covers the newest equipment on shop floors as well as older machinery, sometimes more than 30 years old, for which little maintenance and repair information remains available. Millwrights, mechanics, machinists, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, engineers, and those who supervise them will find this book invaluable. The only hardcover maintenance and repair manual to cover all the mechanical trades in one guide This updated guide covers new industrial machinery as well as 30-year-old equipment for which little information can be found Essential for those who repair machinery as well as machinists, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, mechanics, engineers, mechanical technicians, industrial maintenance managers, and construction tradespeople

Early Millwrights
Early Millwrights
The word "millwright" has long been used to describe the man who was marked by everything ingenious and skillful.
For several centuries in England and Scotland the millwright was recognized as a man with a knowledge of carpentry, blacksmithing and lathe work in addition to the fitter and erector.
He was the recognized representative of mechanical arts and was looked upon as the authority in all applications of winds and water, under whatever conditions they were to be used, as a motive power for the purpose of manufacture.
In other words, as the above definition would indicate,
he was the area engineer, a kind of jack of all trades who was equally comfortable at the lathe, the anvil or the carpenter's bench.
Thus, the millwright of the last several centuries was an itinerant engineer and mechanic of high reputation and recognized abilities.
He could handle the axe, the hammer and the plane with equal skill and precision.
He could turn, bore or forge with the ease and ability of one brought up in those trades.
He could set and cut in the furrows of a millstone with an accuracy equal to or superior to that of the miller himself.
In most instances, the millwright was a fair arithmetician, knew something of geometry, leveling and measurements, and often possessed a very competent knowledge of practical mathematics.
He could calculate the velocities, strength and power of machines; could draw in plans, construct buildings, conduits or watercourses, in all the forms and under all the conditions required in his professional practice.
He could build bridges, cut canals and perform a variety of work now done by civil engineers.
In the early days of North America millwrights designed and constructed the mills where flour and grist were ground by water power.
Water was directed over hand-constructed wooden mill wheels to turn big wooden gears and generate power.
Millwrights executed every type of engineering operation in the construction of these mills.
The introduction of the steam engine, and the rapidity with which it created new trades, proved a heavy blow to the distinctive position of the millwrights,
by bringing into the field a new class of competitors in the form of turners, fitters, machine makers, and mechanical engineers.
Although there was an extension of the demand for millwork, it nevertheless lowered the profession of the millwright, and leveled it to a great degree with that of the ordinary mechanic.
It was originally the custom for the millwrights to have meetings for themselves in every shop.
These meetings usually included long discussions of practical science and the principles of construction which more often than not ended in a quarrel.
One benefit of these meetings was the imparting of knowledge, as young aspirants would frequently become excited by the illustrations and chalk diagrams by which each side supported their arguments.
