Shot blasting gives an encouraging perspective. The trade of the steelmaker is thousands of years old - one of the most ancient and useful known to man. It has been a most important trade in war and peace, and the best brains and talent have been applied to it through all these years. Research men are always optimistic, but their optimism increases if they can make a contribution to such a highly developed industry, for then they can see endless opportunities in newer and less explored fields. We know very little about anything, and there exist limitless opportunities for us in every industry if we will think and work. Or, to put it another way, there will always be a frontier where there is an open mind and a willing hand. ● |
