Here's How Much You Can Save Per Mason Per Year With MORGEN Scaffolding
By putting your masons on Morgen Scaffolding instead of tubular, you can expect a 20% increase in production, with some contractors reporting 30% or more.
Generally, you will save enough money in a year to pay for the scaffolding, with interest. And it's pure profit thereafter!
ANNUAL DOLLAR SAVINGS on each bricklayers production based on 1400 hours per year (35 weeks x 40 hours) (The national average employment for bricklayers is 35 weeks a year, according to the International Masonry Institute, Washington, D. C.)

NADD Report
By: Jeffrey L. Brock
Washington, D. C.
Computerization has arrived in nearly every industry-not the least of which is our own. SCPI has developed a new computerized feasibility program geared to speed the industry's ability to provide accurate technical information to design professionals.
The computer program, which has recently been outlined in several issues of Technical Notes on Brick & Tile Construction, titled Computer Design of Engineered Brick Masonry, is intended to provide architects and engineers with a complete study on the feasibility of converting their planned structure to a loadbearing structure and to aid them in the design of engineered brick masonry.
The system, which is offered free of charge to design professional members, and anyone involved in the masonry industry, can solve problems, spew out facts and specifications, and convince builders to use brick on their jobs.
NADD members are urged to make extensive use of the Computer Program in their daily dealings with design professionals and builders. Should a sale depend upon convincing these individuals of the feasibility of constructing a building, you can get the information back to him almost as quickly as it takes the computer to analyze the structure-less than one second.
Many design firms and builders have already made effective use of the Computerized Feasibility Program, and have expressed interest in using it again. Other industries have similar programs, but few charge nothing for the service. The program may also be found in numerous computer libraries around the country. Let's make use of computerization in design of brick buildings, as well as in the manufacturing of structural clay products, which is already in extensive use.
Copies of the Technical Notes series on Computer Design (series 37) are available now from NADD Headquarters.
The $20.8 billion interest on the national debt this year can be more dramatically portrayed as a weekly cost -or even in smaller units, Rep. George W. Andrews (D-Ala.) points out. This annual cost averages $400 million per week, or nearly $40,000 every minute, Rep. Andrews reminded his colleagues in the House.
