Engineers. With the sponsorship of SCMS the webinar was free, so the next time you deal with SCMS, please express your appreciation for their help in educating engineers and their support of the society. You can watch the webinar on demand. 

When I shared a tip about organizing the parts in your workshop, I showed Fig. 1. Dave Morgan, CBRE, director of engineering for Sinclair Telecable in Norfolk, saw something eerily familiar. He shares Fig. 2, a “master” parts depot at a transmitter site. Similar shelving, bins and methodologies!

Dave admits that his bins are a work in progress, as his team sorts and consolidates parts from various transmitter sites accumulated over decades. This particular site has room for a “master” parts depot as well as equipment storage.
