Q&A topic - Ashpan
Transcript of conversation regarding early ash pans with former employee and son of the president of the company at that time.
I sent him photos and allowed him to study them and then make comment , I'm calling him HK for privacy reasons .
First photo
HK - this picture of the bottom of a pan ...I don't think we made those , I think that was after they left ..*
HK-Because this is not a formed pan like the aluminum ones in those earlier pictures *
Me - ok
HK- you see what I talking about here ? Rounded corners and its a drawn pan .
Me - like it was pushed out or stamped , you mean ?
HK - Yes
HK - so I don't anything about that laugh .. that was after my time
HK - let me go back to the next one ..
Second photo
HK - laugh - I've never seen anything like that one *
But that's an old aluminum....bottom that we used
Me - did you make those ?
HK- We formed those... That was when it was still in Chicago ..we formed those , it was just an easy form on a press brake .
Me - ok
* earlier pictures - he's referring to several of the old demo cook photos I had sent him for review .
* after they left - here he's referring to when George along with the majority of stock in the company moved to Wood Dale , HKs father who was president and a minority stock holder at this time made a deal with George to purchase the job shop and the contracts they had , a few short years later HK became president of that company and he relocated it .
* Here he's referring to looking at the repair done to my WBMW.
