New AED "Green Book"
Long considered to be one of the most useful and demanded references in construction and related industries, the all-new 21st Edition (1970) Compilation of Nationally Averaged 1969 Rental Rates is now off the press and available to equipment users.
This year's 120-page "Green Book"-published by Associated Equipment Distributors (AED), national association of the construction equipment industry-is based on results of a nation-wide survey conducted among U.S. distributors last fall. It features nationally-averaged monthly, weekly, and daily rental rates for more than 1,100 types of equipment, ranging from hand tools and scaffolding to cranes and mammoth earthmoving equipment.
Also featured in the new edition is a complete Model Reference section for machinery, which lists comparative manufacturer-approved statistics on horsepower, drive, shift, rated capacity, years built, and other useful data. In addition, the book includes guidelines on cost of repairs, time basis for rates, freight charges, equipment condition, taxes, and insurance.
Due to the current trucking strike, many regular "Green Book" purchasers have not received AED's announcement that the new version is now available. However, anyone may order the 1970 Edition-completely sectionalized and tab-indexed-by sending $7.50 per copy (plus 80g for first-class postage) to: Associated Equipment Distributors, Dept. R. P.O. Box 97724, Chicago, Illinois 60690.

Felker Revises Name
Felker Manufacturing Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aveo Bay State Abrasives Division in Westboro, Mass., has revised its company name to Avco Felker Corporation. The move was made to align the firm's identity with the parent corporation, Fred C. Stockinger, Avco Felker Corporation Vice President and General Manager stated.
Felker began in Torrance in 1924 as a manufacturer of diamond blades and related machines used primarily in the construction and basic industrial fields. The blades and machines cut brick, tile, concrete block, concrete pavement and a wide variety of industrial non-metallic materials including ceramic products.
The firm became a subsidiary of Avco Bay State Abrasives Division in 1960.
Felker is a major producer of diamond products and related machines in the United States. The firm is represented nationwide by construction equipment and industrial supply distributors.
An overseas manufacturing and selling affiliate, A/S Felker Manufacturing Ltd. Denmark, is located in Copenhagen.
The future is that time when you'll wish you'd done what you aren't doing now.
