Zwick offers prize to find antique testing machine


The Zwick Roell Group is offering a prize to the value of 10,000 euros to find the oldest testing machine (regardless of maker) still in regular use. As an added bonus, all of the participants’ names will be entered into a free-prize draw to win an Apple iPad 2.


T


he competition was launched at Zwick’s ‘Modernisations’ symposium, held at the company’s main headquarters in Ulm, Germany on 25th


May 2011. As manufacturers and designers of quality materials testing instruments since 1937,


the Zwick team would be particularly interested to find a functioning ‘antique’ testing instrument from the early days, although they know this may be unlikely.


The proud owner of the oldest useable instrument will win a voucher to the value of 10,000 euros, to spend on the most up to date Zwick system of their choice. The closing date for entries is 30th 21st


June 2012 and prizes will be presented during the testXpo at Zwick’s premises in Ulm in October 2012.


Entrants should send a picture of the complete machine, a calibration report or video as proof of serviceability, and a picture of the clearly legible identification plate, directly to Zwick at josef.leyendecker@zwick.de.

Schnorr goes app


Schnorr GmbH says that it is the first company to offer an iPhone app providing detailed information about disc springs, serrated safety washers and load washers.


T


he new iPhone app includes a product locator which allows users to simply type in a dimension of a product, such as the inner or outer diameter, and the locator will show a list of products with matching dimensions.


The app will also allow users to find their nearest Schnorr office or


representative. All the user has to do is enter the town, postcode, or even use the more convenient ‘around me’ button inside the locator, to be given all the contact details of the nearest office/representative, along with the option of map navigation. A QR - code reader allows users to identify the corresponding


product and access all information directly, meaning that if there are no installation guidelines to hand, the user simply needs to scan the product QR - code and download the designated guidelines or characteristics. “With the app you will always have the latest news and event notes


at hand, the app is available at Apples itunes store and version 1 is dedicated to run on the iPhone.”


Fastbolt golf day provides valued support for hospice


Julia Rogerson, events and promotions manager at Willen Hospice, accepts a cheque for £7,000 from Fastbolt directors, Graham Joyce, Amanda True and Rob Brunger.


T


he fourth Fastbolt Charity Golf Day, held in memory of Heinz Storch, once again exceeded previous results on behalf of the hospice in Milton Keynes, which provides specialist physical, emotional, spiritual and practical support to people with life limiting conditions, as well as their families. Speaking at the golf day presentation Julia Rogerson had emphasised the vital importance of events like Fastbolt’s


in contributing to the hospice’s fund raising target, particularly in the face of constrained government funding for its services. Receiving the cheque she reiterated Willen’s appreciation for the generosity of participants at the golf day and the continued commitment of the Fastbolt team to its organisation. Next year’s event will be staged again at the Mentmore Golf and Country Club on Friday 15th
