I'm at Emerson Electric, in Pittsburgh, performing a factory acceptance test on a Distributed Control System. This system will be used in a power plant in NC.? I will start the place up.
The Emerson Ovation computer control system is very good.? This facility has expanded by a factor of 2 since I was here two years ago.? They are capturing the market.? George Bush would like what happened.? The low paid low skill manufacturing jobs have been sent over seas.? The high paid design, branding, sales, and customer service jobs have remained here.? These jobs are all high skill.? The number of these high paid jobs has, once again, doubbled in the past 2 years.? I guesstimate 500 people. The Ovation product was once a product of Westinghouse Inc.?Mr Jorden was the?head of Westinghouse. ?Mr. Jorden, who now sits on the board of directors at Black Light Power, sold this place.? I asked around and was not able to find out much.? Noone knew Jorden.? The only thing that I picked up was that Mr. Jorden did not like this place very much and sold it. I wonder what is going on with him. Frank Znidarsic
