Simplicity made possible through the utili­ zation of the revolutionary PMI printed motor direct drive servo. Movement of the tape through the read head is achieved by merely starting and stopping a printed motor. The brakes, clutches and pinch rollers that cause big trouble and down time in conventional tape transports are completely eliminated. Line by line cycle: movement of tape (A) over read head . (B) is controlled by drive capstan (C)-attached directly to shaft of PMI printed motor* (D); spring-loaded rollers (E) hold tape gently against capstan, keeping tape move­ ment in exact accord with capstan rotation; advance command pulse accelerates motor, capstan, and tape; as read head detects next sprocket hole, a reverse pulse to motor halts capstan and tape with next character perfectly aligned in read head.

  • IUE-CWA President Carl Kennebrew Wrote to President Trump
    Carl Kennebrew President Dear President Trump, In times of crisis, American workers have always stepped up to the plate. Workers at General Electric are no exception. As the International President of the IUE-CWA, I am humbled by the hard work and perseverance of thousands of GE workers across the country who recently called on GE to bring critical ventilator production work to their facilities. GE employs some of the most talented and experienced manufacturing workers in the world, thousands of people in Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Kentucky, New York, and Massachusetts who build and maintain equipment in aviation, power grids, electrical systems and lighting. These workers have the drive and the knowledge to meet this current crisis head on. They are asking GE to do the right thing by putting thousands of Americans to work saving American lives. We applaud GE’s efforts in partnering with other corporations to jumpstart ventilator production, but this step simply isn’t enough. GE’s partnership with Ford Corporation will begin the production of 50,000 ventilators in the next 100 days, and GE’s Healthcare production plant is now running at capacity. At this rate, GE’s current capacity will be approximately 15,000 ventilators a month by mid-July. While this is a welcomed first step in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, these actions alone are not enough. We urge you to instruct GE to further increase its production of ventilators by setting-up production in underutilized facilities within its aviation, electrical systems, power grid, and lighting divisions. The most effective way for GE to meet our nation’s ventilator needs is to put thousands of skilled GE workers to work in underutilized GE facilities across the country.
