Western Michigan at work

Description:

Wells Manufacturing Company is featured in this installment of "Western Michigan at work" hosted by Dr. Willis Dunbar. Dunbar explores the two primary products Wells manufactures, meat and metal saws, and the impact that each has had on the industries which utilize them. Lawrence Davis, foreman of the Meat Saw Department, describes the manufacturing process and discusses the materials in manufacture, while Dave Evans, a research engineer, describes the developments which his department has been able to make in creating smaller and more effective saws. Dunbar concludes the program by noting the international scope of Wells' sales, mentioning that many of the saws have been purchased by European countries through credits from the Marshall Plan.
