Issue #600

The second of our four new lube application videos is entitled Lubricating Cable by Hand or With Pourable Lubricants.

The problem with fame is that it's addicting. Once you get a taste of the limelight, you can't help but pop up whenever and wherever a camera appears. After the recent success of Polywater's FST-250 video and last week's Front End Pack Bag video, we couldn't help but make another cameo appearance, this time in the second of our four new Lubricant Application Videos:

The video, entitled "Lubricating Cable by Hand or with Pourable Lubricants," uses field footage to demonstrate the advantages of thick gel lubes in horizontal or vault pulling situations, with emphasis on techniques to ensure thorough coating of the cable and minimization of dripping and wasted lubricant. It also includes tips on prelubrication and friction measurement. The section on pouring explains how applying liquid lubricants helps avoid contact with messy lubes, which extends the life of work gloves and is especially appreciated by crews in pulling in cold weather. Pouring can also free-up a dry hand that could be used to help guide the cable. The 4-minute video ends with tips on lubricant clean-up. Put this tool to use and clean up on the competition.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

More of the Irish. 1) Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney. "Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher, "They say I died!" "Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney, "Where are ye callin' from?" 2) An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car. He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?" "Just water," says the priest. The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?" The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!" 3) Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one. I just had another fight with the little woman." "Oh yeah?' said Charlie, "And how did this one end?" "When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees." "Really?" said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?" She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."
