Form in Kauf genommen werden kann. Diese Anregung wird dann sicher in vielen Fii.llen zur Anwendung fiihren. Uber eines dad man sich nicht tauschen: wir stehen noch ziemlich am Anfang des Vorwii.rtsdringens dieser neuen Schweillverfahren; trotzdem ist das Anwendungsgebiet bereits ein sehr groBes geworden. Die Rein lichkeit, die im wesentlichen ohne Leerlaufarbeit vorhandene Betriebs bereitschaft, ferner die unter dem EinfluB der zentralisierten Strom erzeugung auch eingetretene Verbilligung des elektrischen Stromes sind machtige Faktoren zugunsten der elektrischen WiderstandschweiBung, besonders auch in wer Form als Elektroesse, die in hygienisch einwand freier Weise Rauch und RuB vermeidet. Die Elektrizitat hat seinerzeit wen Siegeslauf begonnen mit der Lichtversorgung, dann erst kam die Kraftversorgung mittels Elektrizitiit und erst in neuester Zeit die Wiirmeversorgung. Wie die Licht- und Kraftversorgung heute alB etwas ganz Selbstverstandliches im Werkstatt betrieb erscheint, so wird es auch mit der Warmeversorgung werden, und damit wird sich auch die elektrische WiderstandschweiBung ein unge heuer groBes Gebiet erobern. Dazu kann auch das vorliegende Buch bei tragen, indem as weitere Kreise zur Mitarbeit heranzieht fiir die vielen Probleme, die es auf dem Gebiete der elektrischen Widerstandschwei Bung und -erwarmung noch zu losen gibt.

Sixteen-year old polio survivor Dave Clark refuses to wear the leg brace his doctors have prescribed, afraid it will interfere with his chances of one day becoming a professional baseball player. Although Lillian and Bernard Clark know that playing baseball is probably an impossible goal for their disabled son, the devoted parents won't stand in the way of his dreams. Little do they know that Dave Clark will grow up to be not merely a baseball player, but an inspirational legend of this great American pastime. Diamond in the Rough: The Dave Clark Story is the true story of one incredible man who refused to give up his dream to play professional baseball, despite the crippling aftermath of polio. Much more than a story about baseball, it is a motivational record of Clark's amazing and inspiring life. Learning to play the game on a home field while still using crutches, Clark boldly pursues his dream, ultimately entering the professional stage as a pitcher in the minor leagues at just five-foot, two-inches tall. Clark's simple philosophy of "You get knocked down, you get up" is the humble foundation for this stirring story of persistence, hope, and a young man's love for the game of baseball.
