	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #570

One of the most effective ways Polywater secures its position as the technical leader in its field is by conducting seminars for engineering groups. The program, entitled "Pull it in and Energize," has been perfected over the years and is summarized in our Seminar Syllabus. The one-hour presentation covers cable pulling lubrication, cable splicing, duct blocking, conduit joining, and more. It's ideal for "lunch and learn" meetings with engineering groups, design/build firms, large contractors, power utilities, and others concerned with the integrity of their electrical installations (e.g., mass transit, petro-chemical plants, users of LSZH cables, etc). Polywater pays for the lunch and participants receive a personalized Certificate of Completion that typically qualifies for CEU Credits ("Continuing Education Units"). You can benefit from these seminars in your territory by agreeing to make the canned presentation yourself, or by scheduling a presentation that your Polywater Regional Manager can make on a subsequent visit. Start by thinking about a suitable target audience in your area, and then contact your Regional Manager to get the ball rolling.

The Pull-Planner™ 3000 is actually two programs in one. One version is in English units; the other is metric (either Newton or kilograms force).

In today's global economy the need to convert data to the metric system in the U.S. is quite common. But there's a problem: many Americans don't know the difference between a meter and a liter, and can't remember the conversion equations. This applies to cable pulling as well. Some pulls require data entry in metric units for run length and cable/conduit size, and data output in liters. What's a poor American to do? Never fear. With the Pull-Planner 3000 there's no need for conversion charts or pocket protectors. You see, the Pull-Planner is actually two programs in one. One version is in English units; the other is metric (either Newton or kilograms force). From the Main Menu, users simply click on the Units pull-down menu and choose one of these options, instantly switching the program to that module. In the Newton or kilograms versions all data entry is made metrically, and all data display and output is automatically fed back in metric units. We should charge twice as much for this program, but we don't. We're just too nice.
