im thinkin most rejection happen on the tail end of the rollers...they could calibrate them so a marble bigger or smaller would fall in a different area and the operator could flick the footballs and tops etc from the rollers....during packing they could catch out of rounds when they rolled down the packing chute...maybe they had more workers on the rollers but i cant speculate....they would be put on the floor in stalls and packed in drums...ive seen the 55 gal drums from champion and marble king...jabo stores their industrials in them...they also use huge cardboard crates thats attached to pallets for ease of movement with a forklift...and they use big steel boxes....im not thinkin there was much inspection of the product factory level but during packing where most of the out of round and oddballs were culled out....if a tank ran into problems or a machine broke they just trashed lots of em...also storage was a problem and the factories were producin hundreds of thousands of marbles a day so many went to dumps and sold as landfill....those jobber boxes were prob under much more inspection than what went on at any factory...the factories were makin...the jobbers were sellin em out of drums or big boxes...

thanks everybody...

i talked to him yesterday...things have calmed there a bit....

thanks bruce...

i dont know david...i think its a reporting time to say hes comin or not.....hes got some kind of cell phone or beeper thats issued..i really didnt get that information.....hopefully he will ck in tonight when he gets ready for his day....ill ask him...when i was in s.e.a. i couldnt talk to my parents for a year now we talk almost daily via yahoo chat....

hes a civilian david..the gis will remain im sure..

my son jason who teaches school in korea is in constant contact with the embassy there and is on a evacuation alert...theyll give him a 20 minute order to head to the ferry to escape to japan...i didnt think things were that bad over there but this sounds bad...when i was in on the evacuations of siagon and phon phen at the end of viet nam i know how stressful this can be....at least they want the americans out first!!

i know they rebuilt one....it was the one that faces east by itself...the others all face north....it takes em awhile to do it...it quite an impressive operation...lots of hard-heavy work....i go down a couple times a month and prob be there tomorrow and i ask richard or ronnie....

theres more than one furnace there.....i think they rebuilt the one where the 3/4 marbles were run.....

theyre talkin bout marble king brian.....

i talked to beri today at the jabo plant and ill verify sturtz'post...

i would leave em alone.....if ya need some cullet from the jabo runs...let me know!!!!

nice snag, pop....only one thing ...why did ya oversleep....lolol

lolol...they make dandies....theres 2 oz down to 1/2 0z embossed on the sides....theyre all a little different like the ring in the middle is not the same and theyre not real shape exactly right ...like they were habd made but i doubt it...prob made in china...

yard sale find...double shot glass..makes a neat marble stand for one of my ray laubs senics...

thanks, steve

roger that!!!

the parrots are a vaneered marble made at the parkersburgh plant on a white base..tri lites or elites were made at the vienna plant and are not a vaneered marble...

wah....so misunderstood....you will say its not you sayin it and shift the words to fit your agenda....the messenger...i dont see why you even put down the alox third generation marbles sayin negative things about that..you have no idea why it was done or who it was done for...i read what you said on kevins board...you own nancy an apology...i and others could find things that you said that were purposely hurtful and vengeful but i haint wastin my time tryin to prove a point to you...get over yourself...mr expert...

just barely subsurface catfish...like the old whirlwinds from champion...

gud un!!!

.....yeah right....sometimes it would be considered gallant to mind your own business...

yup....look for 3 colors next ...it was great seein you again ,too gail!
