Received from a blog-visitor who lives in
Egypt!
Egypt!
“Dear Mr. Joel
Salus,
Salus,
My family owns
a diazo coating factory in Egypt. We are the second oldest in the
country, founded in 1949. As in so many parts of the world, the
reprographic industry died in our country and we have not coated a
“meter” of paper in over 8 years.

country, founded in 1949. As in so many parts of the world, the
reprographic industry died in our country and we have not coated a
“meter” of paper in over 8 years.
We have moved
on and we are working in industrial chemicals. However, our coating
machine is taking up space in our factory and my desire to uninstall it has
been with me for a very long time. I just cannot push myself to make that
final decision.

machine is taking up space in our factory and my desire to uninstall it has
been with me for a very long time. I just cannot push myself to make that
final decision.
If we do
remove it, we would sell it as scrap which is a complete shame. It is a
1976 Andrews-Knowlten two sink coating machine. It is in excellent
condition. I thought of donating it to a museum but, from your blog, I
discovered that there aren’t any museums for the reprographic industry.

The reason for
my communicating with you is two-fold. First, is there any place which you know
of that can take it and use it for any purpose? Second, can it be converted to
any other type of coating/sensitizing or “useful” purpose? (I have
not looked in this point, admittedly, but you may know of hand.)

I do not want
any money for it. Only the transportation/shipping should be the
responsibility of the recipient.
