Vaal Triangle sub branch
February 2006
SAIMC
November was the second meeting after the revival of the Vaal Triangle Sub Branch in September 2005. A new committee was appointed under the leadership of Karl Engelbreght and Colin Simms, after the failure of the previous chairman to keep it afloat, due to business responsibilities.
We started off in October 2005 with a technical presentation sponsored by Metso Automation, on 'Smart positioners and software available'. This initiated a healthy discussion as members were not aware of all the functionality available on the market. SAIMC Vaal Triangle would like to thank Reg Ellerbek and his team for the excellent presentation and for supporting us on the first occasion.
The November 2005 meeting was sponsored by Sensus Metering Systems, with a technical presentation on 'Industrial flow meters in industry' and was given by Ian Love, who is the area manager. The Members were startled by the losses resulting from faulty or broken meters when they saw statistics in rands per cubic metres - and the problems that could occur due to faulty installations.
SAIMC Vaal would like to thank Ian and his team for the professional presentation done which could not have been shortened, taking the equipment covered into consideration.
At time of writing, the December 2005 meeting was to be a social braai evening, with members encouraged to attend. Note that monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 18h00 at the Vanderbijlpark Cricket and Hockey Club. All are welcome to attend.

“Never have so many owed so much to so few.” This phrase is a famous quote by Winston Churchill, referring to the efforts of the Royal Air Force pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain during World War II. It highlights the immense gratitude owed to the relatively small number of pilots who played a crucial role in defending the United Kingdom from the German Luftwaffe.
