Dirty switch contacts caused two
hour shutdown of feed mill recently.
Corroded fuse contacts in the 24O-
volt main switch caused one main
fuse to blow This single-phased the
entire plant and the extra load on the
one phase blew fuse on the distribu-
ton transformer primary. From there
on out, a series Of circumstances caused
a total delay of almost two hours be-
fore production was restored.
Blown fuses from eorroded contacts
have been discussed in this column
many times. Yet, if the facts were
known, it is probable that there is
loss of production each and every day
in Montana alone from this cause.
Everytime mine, mill, plant or ma
chine shuts down, man hours are lost.
We now have a shortage of man hours
and every man-hour lost through care
lessness is prolonging the war and
sacrificing more lives on the field of
battle.
Its about time that all of us are
pulling the sandpaper out of tool chests
and going to work on every switch and
fuse contact we can find around our
place. Polish the contacts, tighten all
the connections and really do a job
while we are about it. If we use re-
Movable fuses, take them apart and
polish all parts to insure good contacts
Don't get the false idea that the
switches that are seldom, if ever, OPP
Grated do not require cleaning, be-
cause generally they need it the most.
A switch that is opened frequently,
tends to clean its own contacts, but, of
course, that doesn't apply to the fuse
holder contacts.
Therefore, Montana Kilowatt urges
that every one clean switches and
fuse holder contacts now to help clean
the Axis.

Critical List

Superceding all previous Critical
lists" WPB released the seventh is
sue of the Material Substitutions and
Supply list, the official roster of crit
ical and substitute materials used in
the war program and for essential civil
ian use.
Zinc, chromium, methyl methacrylate
(lucite), benzol and derivatives, methyl
alcohol, birch and douglas plywood are
among the materials that have become
more critical in supply since November
2, when the previous list was issued.
Current supplies of more than 200
basic materials (listed in Group y are
insufficient for war and essential civ
ilian demands, the critical list reveals,
and in number of cases for war de-
mands alone.

From PIWC Report

"The time lag between the initiation
of an exploration campaign and the
development of production is at least
two years. Any increase in incentive to
wildcatters can, therefore, not be ex-
pected to result in increased reserves
for rather long time. On the other
hand, encouragement of secondary re-
eovery operations should result in in
creased production in about a year"

CD Did some shy Sergeant bribe the printer when he figured he might get his name in print; (2) Was there a mistake and a delayed action fuse inserted in the buster or did it just fizz? Whatever it was it is now Grade 3, Issue Forbidden; (3) A third suggestion could be mentioned that it didn't get in on time which of course, couldn't be the real reason. So Taps for last weeks column. X marks the spot where it rests.
