Uniform heat, at precise temperatures, assures the constant high quality of Maendler paint brushes. Three automatic, clock-controlled vulcanizing ovens guarantee the exact time-temperature relationship for sealing set-in-rubber bristles; GAS, dependable heat source for toughest industrial heating problems, in sures uniform oven temperatures. The controllability of GAS proved an asset to production at the Maendler plant. By charging the ovens at the end of the normal working day, one extra vulcanizing cycle can be completed after-hours . . . with automatic time and safety controls substi tuting for the operator. Efficiency of Gas-Fired Equipment, and economy of GAS for industrial heating, have been demonstrated in thousands of unusual applications. Industrial En gineers at your local Gas Company will analyze your heating problems and make recommendations based on latest developments. Photo by DESPATCH OVEN COMPANY Minneapolis, Minnesota
