Units are in open hearth area and if opera tors use Air Packs as indicated by Straightwell, pydraul will operate successfully, Reclamation could alBO cut costs since they are periodically dumping charge on each machine due to contamination. Following actions are needed at Oreat Lakes to obtain business: 1. Fague send proposal to Straightwell on use of Pydraul 312 in both Askania and mobile equipment. Push for definite trial in Askania. Confirm use of air-packs by operators of mobile equipment. If not used, cdor will prevent Pydraul use. Reclamation should be stressed also. 2. Additional contacts are necessary to get in here. Straightwell stated he isn't interested in helping us on the scrap oharger so we must get back to tte project engineers, Fotr-yk and Sebastian. The ConCast unit should be rechecked for . fluid need through M. Jones, Chief Engineer, and by Randy Graham at ConCast. Contact with Straightwell1s boss, Main tenance Superintendent, should b made to get in with a more reliable decision maker. Contact with the Supt, Com bustion and Supt. Melt Shop or BOF will be needed to get in Askanias and BOP scrap charger- since they are directly cost responsible. Contact with 'iupt, Power Plant may lead to Pydraul AC business. Since plant manager is ordering cost reduction - contact may be t.cceptable there, /pke COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL TRAN 024975 HARTOLDMONOQ24829 trrut^ COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL TRAN 024976 HARTOLDMON0024830
