Bill’s new Fixtures being tested
Bill designed new fixtures that promise to significantly lower the time it takes to secure rails to the ties. Bob, Bill, Bruno and Marty experimented with them at Rabbit Flat to perfect their technique and estimate productivity (i.e. how many ties per minute can be installed by a gang of four). We found that everything went well, but it took a bit of practice to solidify our technique. We will put these to good use during the work week next month.
