Storage System
The Tymindex Division, Weber & Sons, Freehold, N.J. announces its new storage system for time cards. Designed to automatically file employee time cards as used. Gives payroll and personnel departments and state and federal inspectors an easy to use method for finding any time card quickly. Several sizes are available for filing and storing any standard time card or tabulating card. Tymindex files are available empty or complete with new time cards which are prepacked in the pull drawer container. Capacity of each file is 1,000 time cards or 2,000 tabulating cards.
Easy to use system works this way: Pull drawer out toward you about five inches. Take as many time cards as you need for a week out of the front of the file drawer. At the end of the week you put the cards in the drawer again, only this time, they go in the back of the drawer (by pushing the drawer out the back of the file's sleeve). Continue to do this week after week. The new cards from the front; the used cards into the back. Thus, used cards will be automatically filed by consecutive weekly dates-back to front. When Tymindex file is full of old (used) time cards you write in the dates on the drawer-front. Then store the entire file for three years as required by law. For free literature and prices, write: Tymindex Division, Weber & Sons, Freehold, N.J. 07728.

PCM Skytrak
WHO'S THERE? That knocking at the window could be the PCM Skytrak 710. Owned by H. L. Coble Construction Co., the 710 is helping to speed erection of a 500-unit, low-rent housing project in Atlanta. The machine is ideal, says masonry superintendent Jake Bost, because of its ability to work on uneven jobsites and use its telescopic boom to place materials through narrow openings. Skytrak is a product of PCM Division of Kochring Company, Port Washington, Wis.
