Pipefitters Now Have New Tool

For Handling Specific Tasks


To keep up with the most
modern tools in industry and
for tackling some jobs more ef-
ficiently, Lago recently purchas-
ed two stopple plugging mach-
ines with the necessary acces-
sories. In addition, a Williamson
hot tap machine, together with
stopple cutters, pilot drills and
cutter holders, was acquired.
The stopple plugging mach-
ine serves as a temporary block
valve installed anywhere in a
piping system. They are used to
isolate a section of a line for
repairs or addition without tak-
ing the line out of service.
The stopple machine consists
of three major sections: a hy-


draulic cylinder, a plugging
head housing, and a plugging
head. A hydraulic cylinder can
operate plugging heads of sev-
eral sizes. Lago has these
heads in sizes of 6, 8, 10 and
12 inch diameter.
Along with the stopple ma-
chine, the tapping machine is
used first to drill a hole of the
proper size in the line. But
first of all, a stopple fitting has
to be welded on the line. Then
the tap is made. After this, the
valve is closed and the tapping
machine is removed.
Subsequently, the assembled
stopple machine is mounted on
(Continued on page 8)


This equipment consisting of a gasoline engine and a hydraulic
pump provides the hydraulic power for operating a hot tap machine,
now horizontally connected to the machine. It also operates the
stopple machines.

Aruba Amateur Radio Club

Headquarters for Hams Being Built

To Better Serve Members/Community


Plans to provide headquar-
ters for Aruba's radio hams be-
gan in 1968, while last year the
foundation for their club was
laid This year's objective of
AARC calls for completing and
occupying their clubhouse. Work
is now progressing on the walls
of the 40 ft by 28 ft. building.
located east of Casa Cuna on
the seaside at Pos Chikito
The club, estimated to cost
FIs. 10.000, will include a con-
ference room, a kitchen, toilet
facilities, and a patio overlook-
ing the sea
When completed, the club-
house will serve as a center of
worldwide communication and
for giving training courses to
prospective radio amateurs, as
a lab for experimental purposes
and as a facility for social and
recreational activities.
To attract new members, the
club every other year organ-
izes an 8-month radio ama-
teur course free of charge, with
4 hours of classroom instruc-
tion per week. Any person, re-
gardless of nationality, can at-
tend the course. To keep mem-
bers trained for emergencies,
the Club organizes field days
during the year.
As a community service, the
Club members have provided
communications to assist when
disasters occurred abroad, as
in the earthquake in Caracas in
1967. They also operate as com-
munication centers for fund
drives and telethons and help
the Aruba boy scouts contact
their scout friends abroad dur-
ing their annual Jamboree on
the Air. The Aruba hams have
acted on several occasions as


an important link for the gov-
ernment and private individuals
in emergency situations.
The AARC, established on
October 2. 1957. has 26 active
radio hams who operate some
twenty ham stations on the is-
land. Practically all of them use
the call letter PJ3 with other
letters for individual station
identification A popular basic
ham station costs about FIs.

"Though it's a hobby," says
radio ham J. Noguera of Tech-
nical-Process Engineering, "ra-
dio amateur training has help-
ed several hams gain interest
in going into some private ra-
dio or electronic business or
in improving their career by
switching to a job in the elec-
trical or electronic field."
The AARC membership is
open to all residents 18 years
of age and up. The Club has
several Lago employees as
members These are: M. Angela
(PJ3MA), W. J. Diaz (PJ3WD),
J. H. Hassell (PJ3JHH), G. M.
V. James (PJ3ZAG), C. C. Lief-
fers (PJ9CL), J. Noguera (PJ3
AS), S. Paul (PJ3AT), I. P. Vro-
lijk (PJ3AU). and A. R. C. Web-
ster (PJ3AH).
To interest the youth in this
hobby, the AARC plans to start
their training program as soon
as their clubhouse is ready.
The present board of the
AARC consists of J. Geerlings,
chairman. M. Angela, vice-chair-
