SIG booklet

[john e. holliday]

Was getting ready to recycle more paper,  books, magazines and newsletters and I picked up a little SIG booklet.  It has a short history of how Glen Sigafoose got started.   Also how they got into full sizr planes.  Pictures and notes about various others also.

  Hey Doc!! Don't throw that into the recycle bin!! I wouldn't mind having an extra copy of that. let me know what you want for it and I'll send you my address!!
  I got a message the other day that Hazel had to move out of her house and into an assisted living facility, and the house and contents were being put up for auction. I don't know if that included SIG Field or not but don't think so. I think hazel will be 103 or 104 years old in February of March!

   Type at you later,

Sorry Dan,  I am going to hang on to this as well as the award she gave me at the last SIG contest I was lucky enough to attend.

Lucky for me, I got motivated to go to Sig for one of their contests.

Mrs. Sig had the modelers tour her entire complex - except the sawing building, which was classified Top Secret.

I liked the 150-year-old printing presses used as die-cutting presses.  They could rip through a stack of blanks at 30 hits per minute, which beats the hell out of laser-cutter or plastic printer.

Also the wire-bending tools that shaped landing gears powered by a hydraulic cylinder. 

Hazel said that the key element in balsa-buying is to permanently employ a trusted dedicated balsa  buyer in Equador.  Otherwise, you just get the crap that Sig won't buy.
