Company logo complete! Logo was cut from sheet of 18 gauge sterling, pin assembly and pearl cup and peg fabricated and soldered on. Polished with soft matte finish and set with peacock black pearl, a very fine pearl indeed. Sitting on a plug of museum wax. Pearl is about 7.5 mm on the 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/2 inch brooch.
Not the best picture but I promised this piece that it would have its own photo op after it's grouted. I DO like how the mirror and iridescent glass sparkle in this photo! 9 inch cross, stained glass and mirror in white, gold, silver.
Millwright Charles Leopper sprays liquid rubber on a mold to create a boot for a manipulator control, using a process developed at ORNL in the late 1950s. The lab uses more than 200 of the manipulator controls, so it makes more sense to produce them on site than to try to order them – especially since radioisotopes produced at the lab are time-sensitive.

Millwright Ken Hall fabricates a custom plastic enclosure in ORNL’s on-site manipulator/boot shop. Hall, who has performed plastics fabrication for the shop for about a decade, makes custom equipment to fit researchers’ needs — anywhere from a dozen to 50 a year, from tiny tabletop enclosures to sizable structures that require open space in large buildings.
