VLM’s are used for order picking, consolidation of material, parts handling and inven- tory storage. They provide floor-space savings, increase labor productivity, and most importantly, they meet the increased space needs projected in EB’s future for Virginia-class material. Planning is currently underway to iden- tify needed equipment in order to sustain the Columbia material influx. The Process Engineering team, along with Modula, the VLM provid- er, determined that six VLM’s would offer enough space to store material being moved from the carousels, as well as all material from the shelves with- in the main stores. Six VLMs were purchased, reducing the overall footprint of EB the warehouse by half, thus providing more growth potential for the future. Before moving the material from the carousels to the VLMs, the Material Con- NEWS trol team looked at all of the material, analyzed the usage of it and ultimately reduced roughly 10% of the 24,000 parts currently stored, removing outdat- ed material that is no longer applicable in submarine production. Overall, this change to a top-of-the-line storage system has maximized space within the Main CONTENTS Stores warehouse and reserved the space necessary to support EB’s growth. 4 Submarine Industrial Base Council Event Draws Hundreds of EB Suppliers 5-6 Q&A With Supply Chain’s Blair Decker 7-10 Happy 120th Birthday! 10 Reflections from EB’s Longest-Serving Active Employee 11 Singing in the Key of EB— The SubTones 12-13 USS South Dakota (SSN 790) Commissioned 13 EB Business Ethics and Conduct 14 Are We Losing Our Minds?

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs November 9, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. On July 13, 2012, the Navy submitted to Congress a 73-page report on the Navy’s policies and practices for naming ships. For ship types now being procured for the Navy, or recently procured for the Navy, naming rules can be summarized as follows: The first Ohio replacement ballistic missile submarine (SBNX) has been named Columbia in honor of the District of Columbia, but the Navy has not stated what the naming rule for these ships will be. Virginia (SSN-774) class attack submarines are being named for states. Aircraft carriers are generally named for past U.S. Presidents. Of the past 14, 10 were named for past U.S. Presidents, and 2 for Members of Congress. Destroyers are being named for deceased members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including Secretaries of the Navy.

  • Prologue - Preparing the Way for the Columbia Cars, and the Formation of the Electric Vehicle Company
    Prologue - Preparing the way for the Columbia cars, and the formation of the Electric Vehicle Company Electrobat Morris and Salom Electrobat The Electrobat was the first successful electric automobile to ever be created. Mechanical engineer Henry G. Morris and chemist Pedro G. Salom from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were responsible for this marvel of engineering. Pedro J. Salom was the president of the Electrical Lead Reduction Company which was incorporated in 1899. This company produced products supporting the manufacturing of early batteries. Salom was an electrochemical engineer. With solid backgrounds in battery streetcars, they decided to team up and make battery road vehicles. The Electrobat was the result of their combined efforts. It was patented on August 31, 1894 and it entered production in 1895. It was a slow, heavy vehicle, built like a smaller version of a battery streetcar. The vehicle was indeed a very heavy carriage, with steel tires to support the immense weight caused from the then new Lead Acid Battery. The two men then founded the Morris and Salom Electric Wagon and Carriage Company – the first electric car company in the United States of America. The first test ride for this first electric car was on Broad Street. A special permit was required from City Hall, and a policeman had to travel in front if the EV, clearing any horse carriages to prevent the animals to panic. With continuous research and development, the later versions of the Electrobat were lighter, faster and less ungainly. They had pneumatic tires and steered by their rear wheels. The newer versions ran on two 1.5-horsepower (1.1 kW) motors that worked for 25 miles (40 km) per charge at 20 mph (32 km/h).

Bishop Chatard: Secret Societies, Irish Nationalists, Americanists, and Modernists, 1878-1918 This chapter deals with a set of movements that Bishop Chatard, a religious, social, and political conservative, had to deal with. Born into comfort, rector of the American College in Rome, Chatard, so far as he was able, operated as a brakeman to some of and the salient developments of Gilded Age America, in particular, trade unionism, Irish nationalism, and the efforts of the Modernists to bring the Church up to date and escape from medieval scholasticism. Nor did he share the confidence of the Americanist bishops who reveled in the freedom found in the United States and believed that here the Church had nothing to fear from the state. In resisting such efforts in his lifetime Chatard was on the winning side, with the exception of trade unionism, whose legitimacy was accepted by the Church in the encyclical, Rerum Novarum.
