CUTTING MACHINE TO SAVE MONEY

A time-and-labor saving paper
cutter designed and fabricated by
Erie Ordnance Depot employ
ees may be duplicated at Ogden
Arsenal, Ogden, Utah, if present
plans materialiZe.
1t is estimated that hundred of
dollars have been saved in pack
aging operations at the depot since
the installation of this particular
piece of equipment, and it is ex-
pected that a similar savings will
accrue to Ogden's credit.
The paper cutter is used for
Sitting roll moisture vapor bar
rier material in conjunction with
a simplex bag making machine
which uses different widths.
In making bags for packaging,
it is necessary to have on hand
several different widths to proper
ly inclose the various-sized artic-
les to be packaged.
Before the construction of this
paper cutter, paper rolls for each
width had to be ordered, and
they we're on the scarce list.
With the use of this cutter
one 36-inch roll of paper is pur-
chased and then cut into the de-
sired width. The cutter is able
to slit up to five different rolls
from one 36-inch roll.

Collaborating in perfecting this
time-and-labor saving machine
were EODers Harry Ascher, Carl
Wills, Joe Burns and Robert Wills
of Port Clinton; Edward Kowalski
and Howard Kiser, of Fremont;
and Roderick Mcleod, of Lacarne.
The January issue of the post
publication, the ERIE ECHO, car
ried picture and story on this
piece of equipment. AS custom
ar~v, this paper was exchanged with
post publications from Ogden
Arsenal.
Last week Mr.. Ascher received
letter from 1t. Col. Jewell
Haymie, executive officer of Ogden
requesting information on prints,
drawings and photographs of Erie's
paper cutter.
Col. Haymie explained that the
paper cutter had received favor
able comment from Ogden's pro-
cessing and packaging supervisors
and that they hoped to fabricate
similar device.
Mr.. AScher has complied with
the request.
