IN LOVING MEMORY In loving memory of Bob Campbell. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be So he put His arms around you and whispered "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best. Written by Vicki Reinke, friend We miss you, Wife and Family IN LOVING MEMORY In loving memory of my son-in-law, Robert Campbell, who passed away November 14, 1989. He is deeply missed by all. Violet Brantley IN LOVING MEMORY In loving memory of my dear brother-in-law, Robert Campbell, who passed away November 14, 1989. And in deep respect for my loving sister, Twilo Campbell, who has taught me to continue life in dignity. "A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belongs to the world. But then it flies on again. and though we wish it could have stayed. We feel so lucky to have seen it." Kay Brantley-Chiaro Business Growth Drives Polygon Expansion Two plant expansions totaling 15,500 square feet, the installation of new, automated manufacturing and fabrication equipment, and plans to increase employment are highlights of the current expansion program at Polygon Co. The firm is experiencing growth in sales of component parts made of advanced composite materials to original equipment manufacturers in the electrical, medical and automotive industries in the United States as well as Europe. Polygon specializes in the design and manufacture of rods, tubes, cylinders and structural shapes from composit materials, which are basically plastics reinforced with high-performance fibers. Products range from highly specialized applications, like the tubing used to protect sensitive electrical components in the space shuttle, to massmarket products such as armature shaft insulators that reduce the risk of shock for users of electrical hand tools. Construction is nearly completed on the first phase of the expansion, a 5.500 square foot addition to Polygon’s Tennessee Street plant, in Walkerton. The expanded plant will be fully dedicated to the braiding process, used in the manufacture of components such as double-insulated tubing and selflubricating bearings. The expansion includes the installation of 12 new. fully automated braiding lines for increased capacity, as well as special insulation and climate controls for enhanced product quality. A 10,000 square foot addition to the U.S. 6 plant in the Walkerton Industrial Park is targeted for completion in mid-January. Three quarters of the new addition will house Polygon's research and development department, and the remaining 2,500 square feet will accommodate expanded CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining capabilities, including six new CNC machines. Growth in contract development sales, such as the recent contract awarded by a European car manu-

facturer, is spurring expansion of the research and development department, which will move from its present location in the Tennessee Street plant to the U.S. 6 addition. The expansion provides additional space for manufacturing equipment dedicated solely to the research and development function, as well as office space for an enlarged R & D staff As expansion of facilities progresses. the company also plans to hire additional employees. Establised in 1949, the Polygon Company has been granted more than 42 patents, including early patents for pultrusion, filament winding and braiding of composite fibers. It originated the composite tubing known informally throughout the world as the "Polygon tube." used to make doubleinsulated, shock-proof and tools and appliances; and holds original process and application patents for the composit materials known as self-lubricated bearings. Pultrusion, filament winding and braiding are performed around the clock. In addition. Polygon maintains a complete machining facilityutilizing computer-controlled equipment for fabrication of parts using composite materials. An inhouse tool and die division provides full support for the com-
