  • Gandy – an Old Established Shoemaking Family
    Gandy – an old established shoemaking family Throughout the 19 th century, census, church and other records for the Warrington area contain a wealth of evidence for the Gandy’s involvement in the shoe-making trade and other trades with links to footwear, such as hosiery. For example John Gandy was a hosier in The Market Place and Golden Square in Warrington in the 1820`s while Mrs Mary Gandy served the nobility, gentry and clergy in Church Street and Horsemarket Street. (Information provided by Sue Kinsella from trade directories). The connection between the Gandy family and shoes is even older. I have found Gandys who were shoemakers in the 18 th century, such as William Gandy of Prescot, who married Sarah Lingham in 1767 and John Gandy, also shoemaker of Prescot, who married Jane Whittle in 1768. Thomas Gandy, cloger, married Mary Houghton in 1826. James Gandy shoemaker married Ann Smethurst in 1761. Thos Gandy shoemaker married Ann Mason in 1768. Joseph Gandy shoemaker married Betty Wright in 1769. James Gandy shoemaker and wife Ann – christened son James in 1779 and daughter Lydia in 1782. Joseph Gandy, John Gandy, Thomas, James shoemakers carried on 1785, 1787, 1788, 1790,1795, 1796, - 1808. Warrington volunteers raised in 1798 to help meet the threat of invasion from Napoleonic France. 539 men serving in 1807, including James Gandey, Warrington, shoemaker. Another speciality of the Gandy cobblers was clogs: “When you talk of clogs in Warrington, people immediately think of the Gandy’s. And when you mention that name to-day you are referring to 70-year-old Mr.

  • The Steward Clog by Equine Digit Support System, Inc
    The Steward Clog by Equine Digit Support System, Inc. Instruction Guide The Steward Clog Offers: - Multi-Direction Leverage Reduction (Eased Anterior & Medial/Lateral Breakover) - Stable Support to the Coffin Bone(solid landing for the bars, frog & caudal sole) - Protection to the Coffin Bone (seated out area) - Adjustability (can attach Rails & wedge pads for fine tuning) - Variety of Attachment Options (Screws, Glue and/or Nails) Is An Effective Treatment For: - Laminitis & Founder ~ Rotation & Sinking - Ring Bone ~ Pastern or Coffin Joint Arthritis - Coffin Joint Disease - Collateral Ligament Strain Hoof Preparation Guidelines 1. In dealing with Laminitis or Founder cases where the coffin bone has lost its parallel relationship with the hoof capsule, (i.e. rotation) it will be necessary to prepare the foot in a manner that will re-establish a solid, functional foundation, as well as achieve a better joint alignment. With feet that have rotated, it will be necessary to de-rotate the hoof capsule by trimming the heels that have grown excessively due to the laminitis or founder episode. Typically the dorsal hoof wall and laminae are compromised and the front part of the foot is painful, therefore it is necessary to utilize the back half of the foot for support. Trimming the heels as directed will produce a foundation in the back half of the foot suitable for supporting the coffin bone and returning basic function, as well as providing protection to the tip of the coffin bone. In cases where the sole has prolapsed and extends beyond the height of the wall, either with severe rotation or sinkers, wall extensions may be necessary.

  • Full-Scale Laboratory Testing of a Toe Drain with a Geotextile Sock DSO-99-14
    Full-Scale Laboratory Testing of a Toe Drain with a Geotextile Sock DSO-99-14 Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory April 1999 Full-Scale Laboratory Testing of a Toe Drain with a Geotextile Sock DSO-99-14 by Jay Swihart U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation Dam Safety Office April 1999 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF RECLAMATION Full-Scale Laboratory Testing of a Toe Drain with a Geotextile Sock Executive Summary This report describes the full-scale laboratory testing (pipe box testing) of a 15-inch-diameter, corrugated, polyethylene toe drain with a knitted geotextile sock, backfilled with a sand envelope material. The test results are compared with previous small-scale and full-scale tests using perforated pipe with 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch perforations, but no geotextile. Use of the geotextile optimized toe drain performance both with respect to flow and with respect to loss of the sand envelope. The long-term flow rate was 21 gpm per linear foot of pipe, which was significantly higher (by a factor of 3 to 12) than the earlier tests without geotextile. The total loss of sand envelope was only 50 grams per linear foot of pipe, which was significantly lower (by a factor of 4 to 17) than the earlier tests without geotextile. The test with geotextile was run for 31 days at a constant head of 2½ feet above the pipe invert with no indication of clogging. The results from this test with geotextile along with the two previous tests without geotextile are summarized below: Test Configuration Flow Rate Envelope Loss Test Duration and (gpm / lin ft) (grams / lin ft) Comments 1/8-inch slots 1.74 Not Stable 200 Stable 8 Days - Not Stable 1/4-inch holes 6.3 Not Stable 850 Not Stable 24 Days - Not Stable Geotextile Sock 21.3 Stable 50 Stable 31 Days - Stable Improvements with 3 to 12 4 to 17 Geotextile (factor) Based on these results, use of geotextile sock in conjunction with a sand envelope is recommended for all future toe drain installations in areas with fine native soils.

  • The Crocs Comeback
    The Crocs Comeback Crocs #FindYourFun Campaign 2015 The Crocs Comeback 1 Summary Crocs was a brand that used to be great. For years they dominated the casual-shoe corner of the market. But eventually the fad wore out…and Crocs became irrelevant. The planning team faced a difficult task: We needed to breathe life back into a brand that few cared about anymore. As we dove into research, we uncovered a simple but important truth: Crocs are fun. They’re bright and colorful, but more than that, they’re the shoes you wear when you want to be comfortable and be yourself. This concept of self-expression came up over and over again. People all around the world are hungry for it. Why? Because “being you” is fun. It was clear that we needed to turn Crocs into the brand that stands for fun. But how? We took another look at the polarizing clog. Where others saw weakness, we saw opportunity. The clog was more than just a shoe, it was a globally recognized symbol of the brand. Rather than ignore it, we needed to do the exact opposite. We needed to turn it into a global icon of fun. The campaign came to life through the #FindYourFun creative platform — it was simple, straightforward and universal. The message encouraged everyone around the world to celebrate fun in the everyday. The Crocs Comeback 2 Remember when Crocs were a thing? Back in 2002, when Ja Rule was topping the charts and cellphones still flipped, the But, after a decade of climbing, Crocs first Crocs shoe was introduced at the began to lose momentum.
