In just one short day, Roscoecharmed the receptionist, captivatedthe cost control group, astounded themedics, mastered the converterbuilding's complex control room, beatthe lunchroom boys at cards, and

participated in heavy discussions withthe plant manager. fn all, a uniquevisit that will be long rememberedby everyone!

To find out more about Roscoe theRobot, the Triangle talked with itscreator, Bill Bayley, a feed operatorin the converter department.

Seems like the project had been onBill's mind for a couple of years -ever since he'd whipped out acartoon featuring robots. Creative,

Thoroughly sat,sfied with his plant tour, Roscoe heads for home a special ramp built by creatorBill Bayley allows Roscoe to enter hi mode of transportation easily and quickly.

and always handy with his hands, Billput the robot together, using partsfrom vending machines.

Intended as a Christmas presentfor his six-year-old daughter Linda, ittook Bill some two months toassemble Roscoe - approximately 1 50man-hours. Five small motors, a 50-foot extension cord and a control boxall help make the remote-controlledRoscoe function. His body is made ofwood, and his arms are hoses takenfrom an electric dryer. He moves onwooden wheels, and his oversize

Built mainly for entertainment,Roscoe has so far cost Bill about$100, and will ultimately represent anexpenditure of over $1 000 by thetime the robot is refined to Bill'ssatisfaction.

Says Bill, "the project wasenjoyable and frustrating", and helaughingly adds that he's trying toteach Roscoe how to mow his lawn.When asked, naturally, if he'scontemplating a female robot, Billsays, "Well it's been requestedfrom whom, we wonder so yes, I'mthinking about it. Hmm. What do youthink of the name 'Roscella'?"

Guess if that ever happens, we'llhave to be on the lookout for a wholebunch of "little Rascals"!

Supervisor Steve Lemega, left, and secondclass maintenance mechanic Gino Gregorinihelp Roscoe master the controls.

Time for a serious discussion - Roscoe accepts an invitation from Peter Ryan, plant manager, foran indepth conversation dealing with the basic operation of the nickel refinery.

It all started innocently enough,with a quick browse through a musicstore display of record albumsfeaturing such titles as 'Our MissBrooks' "The Shadow", "InnerSanctum", 'Dragnet", "The LoneRanger", and, in particular, anoriginal version of HG. Wells' "Warof the Worlds".

One listen, and he was hooked!For Reg Hubert, scooptram operatorat Copper Cliff South mine, the hobbyof collecting and trading oldtime radioshows has, in just two short years,already provided him with over 4,500programs.

When first introduced to thefascinating world of "oldies butgoodies", Reg wondered if perhapsother Sudburians with similarrecordings might be interested intrading. He aired his thoughts on alocal open-line radio show andreceived immediate response from anarea resident willing to swap copies.By doing so, they realized they'deach doubled their own collections!

Reg then learned about othercollectors through a newsletter issuedby North American Radio Archives.Contact was made with an American,and the shows Reg obtained were

then traded for copies of showsowned by a collector in Ottawa.These were traded to a lady inDowling, and the shows obtainedfrom her were in turn traded to achap in St. Catharines. These showswent into Reg's collection library, tobe later traded with collectors inPortland and Maryland. And onand on

Reg's own catalogue shows acurrent listing of over 236 reels andmore than 300 cassettes, and he'staken his collection to such places asPioneer Manor and the chronic-caresection of Laurentian Hospital, wherehis shows provide welcomeentertainment for the older set.

Reg admits to receiving as manyas 15 seven-inch reels in one day,with each reel capable ofaccommodating twelve half-hourshows. Which means he can easilyfall behind in the listening andcopying of them. And while therecent strike gave him time to catchup on things, he points out that it justtakes one visit from the mailman witha bigger-than-usual offering of tapes,and he's behind again!

The equipment he's accumulatedincludes two reel-to-reel tape decks,

An unusual hobby - collecting those

stereo cassette tape decks, two 8-track recorders, and 35-watt"dubbing" amplifier. Not to mentionall the odds n ends!

Along with his original tradingpartner, Reg has now formed a localcollector's club known as the OldtimeRadio Show Collectors Association,or "ORCA", for short. It's a non-profitorganization that has as its goal the"promotion of the widest possible useof, collection of, and trading of, OldTime Radio Shows at the lowestpossible cost to members, consistentwith maintaining the highest possiblestandards of quality in the dubbing",or copying, of these shows".

The club maintains a library fromwhich members can rent tapes, andthe monies received are appliedtoward the purchase of blank tapesand the replacement of lost ordamaged tapes. Reg adds thatmembership in the club will berevoked if a person is found to betaking commercial advantage of thelibrary service; no one is allowed torent tapes out for resale at a profit.

More information about the hobby,and membership, can be obtained bywriting to Reg at 45 Barry Street inSudbury . . . postal code P3B 3H6.

Azilda Lions ClubMembers LendHelping Hand

When it comes to lending ahelping hand, leave it up to mem-bers of the Azilda Lions Club. Forthe third year in a row, Azilda Lionshave generously responded to a callfor help from St. Lucia, an island inthe West Indies.

According to Chuck McGaughey,a mine foreman at Levack mine, itall started three years ago whenBob McAllister, a fellow Lion, visitedthe island, talked tb members of theSt. Lucia Lions Club and decidedsomething should be done to helpalleviate some of the poor livingconditions of St. Lucia's citizens.

Whereas clothing and othermaterials were forwarded to the St.Lucia Lions Club for distribution inprevious years, the latest shipmentto the poverty-stricken island con-sisted of hospital and allied equip-ment, ranging from incubators,oxygen tents, operating tables andlights, surgical equipment togenerators, sterilizing units, bedsidetables and stretchers. As well, therecent shipment included thousandsof dollars worth of much neededmedicines, with most of the suppliesdonated by hospitals, clinics andpharmaceutical firms throughoutOntario.

Members of the Azilda Lions Club,along with many Inco employees,gathered recently for the tiresometask of getting the material ready forshipment.

Inco's Levack mine helped out bysupplying some $7,000 worth ofcrating materials in the form ofplywood, nails, tape and strapping.Tilden Rent-a-Truck and Del lelceConstruction and Equipment eachdonated the services of a largetruck for the pickup and finaldelivery of the equipment to theCanadian Air Force Base in Trentonfrom where the goods were flownnon-stop to St. Lucia.

Ontario Divisbn Receives "Electric EnergyEfficiency Award" From Ontario Hydro

The Ontario Division of Inco Metals Company wasrecently presented with Ontario Hydro's "ElectricEnergy Efficiency Award" for major achievements inthe field of energy conservation. Accepting thecoveted award for Inco was Gerry Cullain, managerof Central Utilities in Copper Cliff.

On presenting the award at theCopper Cliff Club, Hal Wright, OntarioHydro's Northeastern Ontarioregional director, stated that theaward is presented in recognition ofoutstanding achievement in the fieldof electric energy conservation.

Inco Metals Company's OntarioDivision, directed by seniormanagement and its utilitiesdepartment, has demonstratedcommendable leadership by settingan example to others of theelimination of waste and the efficientuse of electricity," he said.

According to Gerry Cullain, energymanagement has been a priority atInco since the early 1930's whenfacilities were installed to recoverheat from the smelting and refiningprocesses at Copper Cliff and fromthe nickel refinery at Port Colborne.

A concern over dwindling energyresources and their increasing costsmade it necessary for Inco's OntarioDivision to review its energy use evenmore closely several years ago. Thisresulted in an Inco policy to ensureadequate supplies of energy at theleast possible cost.

Since 1976, the energyconservation program has cut thecompany's electric power bill byapproximately $1 million annually,mostly by improvements in its electricload factor. Peaks were reduced bycutting back operations, such as skiphoisting, when a pre-determined peakwas reached, and permission wasrequired to start all motors over 500hp.

Further savings were achieved by

using digital pulse metering, installingwaste heat boilers at the Iron OreRecovery Plant to recover heat fromfluid bed roasters and utilizingprocess heat exhaust for spaceheating. In addition, compressed airuse was reduced, with leaks repairedand shut-off valves installed to isolateloads and shut down the system;fresh air mine ventilation wasreduced on weekends; buildinginsulation was upgraded; heaterswere efficiency tested, and unuseddoors and windows were covered.

Aside from numerous other energy-saving programs initiated at all minesand plants, major energy savingswere realized by insulating oil tanksand the general upgrading of steampipe insulation. Most of all, accordingto Gerry Cullain, employeeparticipation to reduce energyconsumption throughout the OntarioDivision has been most encouraging.Furthermore, he believes that theongoing educational program willcontribute to yet a further reductionin energy consumption.

The lights have been turned off,the doors locked and the day's workforgotten. Most of us are on our wayhome from work. glad that the day isfinished and looking forward torelaxing. But there is another com-munity that is just starting to comealive.

All across the country - schools,community colleges and universitiesare gearing up for the rush of stud-ents. The students may be a bit olderthan those during the day but theyare no less interested. This is theworld of night classes. The classesattract thousands of people to avariety of course ranging from automechanics to zodlogy.

Sudbury is no exception to this newtrend, Many Inco employees spendtheir evenings taking courses. Butthis article is about a special breed ofpeople who teach courses at nightand also work at Inco. They enrichthe lives of many people and withoutthem our community would be muchless interesting.

Crack Crews Replace HoistThe expertise and efficiency of Levack area maintenance and

operating crews came under test during a recent hoist rope change atColeman mine. As predicted, the complex undertaking was carried outflawlessly and in less than five shifts!

Changing hoisting ropes is no easyundertaking, considering thatexcellent communication and goodco-ordination between members ofthe crews are essential prerequisitesin performing a rope change of thistype.

It was the first time that the cageand counterweight suspension ropeswere changed at Coleman mine. Thefour ropes, originally supplied by WireRope Industries, measure 1-3/16inches in diameter, with a length of2,400 feet each and a breakingstrength of 186,000 pounds. It isinteresting to note that the old ropeshad been in service since 1970,thanks to a rigid rope maintenanceprogram carried out throughout theyears.

Prior to the rope change, adetailed procedure, outlining each jobstep, was reviewed with the crews.Once the final job steps had beenestablished, the actual rope changewas carried out, with deviationallowed only after a careful review ofany problems that could develop.

The technique employed atColeman mine involved the changingof one rope at a time from the collarelevation, thereby negating the needfor costly rope changing stations inthe shaft. Since the major portion ofthe job was carried out over an openshaft, all safety procedures werefollowed to the "nth" degree to ensurethe safety of men and equipment.

According to mine superintendentJim Ashcroft, the crews, along withtheir respective supervisor andsupport staff, are to be commendedfor completing a complex job safelyand in record time.

Open House at New $25-Mill Attracts 6,700 Sudbur

Thousands of Sudbury and District residents and theirfamilies were guests of the new $25-million CanadianAlloys rolling mill and its employees in Walden recently.The following day, the plant was officially opened byDouglas Frith, Chairman of the Regional Municipality ofSudbury.

In addition to touring the facilities, some 6,700 visitorsviewed the various displays, including a display of theworld's most complete selection of pure nickel coins.One of the coins was minted in Switzerland back in 1881.A Canadian coin, minted from Canadian Alloys' firstshipment of strip, was handed to guests as a memento oftheir visit.

Following the tour of the modern facility, a puppetshow was provided for the young fry. As well, a largeassortment of refreshments was available throughout theday.

The plant produces strip for coinage and otherapplications by two processing steps not commonly usedin the industry, Nickel, or a combination of copper andnickel, is melted and atomized by high pressure water toform powder. In a continuous operation the powder is rollcompacted into strip, heated, hot rolled, and coiled. Thehot rolled coils are then reduced to required thickness byconventional cold rolling.

CIef Executive Officer Guest of Regional Chairman:IJ ::dwfl Carter gloomy

Foerasts On vst to Nickel CapitaInco is the largest single employer in the Sudbury area and is likely to

remain so for many years to come, according to Inco Limited Chairman andChief Executive Officer J. Edwin Carter in a recent speech delivered at aspecial meeting of Sudbury Regional Council. Dispelling pessimistic andgloomy forecasts about the Sudbury area, Mr. Carter told members ofcouncfl and a gallery of interested citizens that Inco's Sudbury operationswill continue to represent the company's principal source of nickelproduction.

During his one.day visit to Sudbury as guest of Regional ChairmanDoug Frith, Mr. Carter was accompanied by Inco Limited President ChuckBaird, Vice-Chairman John McCreedy, Inco Metals Company President andChief Executive Officer Don Phillips, and Ontario Division President WintNewman. The group also toured the Sudbury Basin and, along withRegional Chairman Doug Frith, cohosted a press conference following Mr.Carter's address to council.

ri his opening remarks to council,Mr. Carter said: 'it has beendisturbing to us during the past twoyears or so to hear pessimistic andg'oomy forecasts being made aboutthis area, based at least in part onerroneous statements or beUefs aboutthe future p'ans and policies of nco.f nothing e'se is accomphshed by our

visit today, hope we can disp&some of these worries by sharing withyou our candid and realisticassessment of nco's operations inSudbury.

Before getting into that discussion,however want to announce that weare in the process of examining ourrequirements for office facilities indowntown Sudbury. Wint Newmanand his staff have made a preliminaryanalysis of Division functions thatappropriate'y can be carried out in anew ocation downtown. We do notbelieve it wouid be practical ordesirabie for us to construct a largeoffice building t is more l'kely that'pie will ease, n an existing orplanned project, facihties that wouldbe suitable for a number of significantactivities associated with our Sudburyoperations H due course, we will bep'eased to discuss these plans withthe Council and ther interested

groups with a view to meeting ourmutual interests and needs.

Looking to the future of Sudburyand our operations here, twoeconomic realities shou'd be noted,Firsfly, Sudbury is ess dependent onnco than in the past because the

economic base of the Sudbury area

has broadened and diversifiedndeed, Sudbury is the regional

centre of northeastern Ontario Wecommend this council and others whohave demonstrated leadership inthese developments. Secondly,despite this change and economicgrowth, nco is still the largest single

employer and is likely to remain sofor many years to come. Ouroperations will continue, therefore, tohave a direct and significant impacton this area.

We believe it is important and inour mutual interests for Inco and thiscommunity to recognize theseeconomic realities. We are preparedto work with you and others to insurethat our policies, plans and actionsare coordinated with those of thecommunity, and we pledge ourcontinued general support ofsignificant diversification efforts thatwill strengthen the economic base ofSudbury.

Against this background, I willaddress first the long-term future ofour operations here and then discussmore immediate operationa plans.Essentially. I will be talking about ourintentions and a series of factors thatwill affect our ability to carry outthose intentions.

First, let me say loud and clearthat we intend to stay in the nickelbusiness, and our Sudbury operatonswill continue to be our principalsource of production. We have morethan $2 billion invested here, almostone-half of which was spent from1965 through 1974 to modernize and

expand our facilities, and the currentreplacement cost would be more than$4 billion. Our Sudbury complex notonly is Inco's largest primary metalsoperation, it is by far the largestnickel-producing facility in the world.And, in addition, it is a cost-competitive operation and should beable to remain so for many years.How anyone would think that aprivate enterprise would abandonsuch a facility is beyond mycomprehension. Suggestions that weare planning to do so are not worthyof belief.

Of our total Canadian reserves, byfar the larger portion is in theSudbury District. Here we haveapproximately 325 million tons of ore,containing 4.8 million tons of nickeland 4.0 million tons of copper. If wewere to reach and maintain anaverage rate of production of 300million pounds of nickel per year,which is somewhat higher than wecurrently are producing, simplearithmetic indicates that our provenreserves would carry us well into thenext century. But this does not meanthat 25 or 30 years from now ourSudbury operations will cease,because we continue to prove up newreserves, Our current plans

contemplate continuing expendituresin the Sudbury District of between $7million and $8 million a year in thisongoing exploration program. Ourobjective is to keep finding andproving more ore as we extract thetons from today's proven reserves.

can summarize by saying that ourSudbury operations, so long as theyremain cost-competitive, are assuredof sufficient ore reserves to supportproduction beyond the year 2000. Weall hope and expect that ourextensive exploration will generateadditional ore reserves and add moredecades to Sudbury's future as amajor producer of nickel, copper andprecious metals.

It is often said that ocean mining isa serious threat to the future of Inco'sSudbury operations. We stronglydisagree, and I want to discussbriefly this much-misunderstoodsubject.

Our judgement at this time is thatocean mining will not be cost-competitive with existing land-basedoperations, certainly not with ourSudbury production, for many years.Thus, so long as investmentdecisions are made on the basis ofeconomic and market factors,Sudbury should not be concernedabout ocean mining.

Another type of disaster isenvisioned by some who see ourSudbury operations threatened byother Inco production facilities. If theOntario Division were a small, high-cost operation such fears might havecredibility. As I have already noted,

this is not the case. Still, thespeculation persists, so let us lookbriefly at some facts and figures.

First of all, I want to repeat andemphasize the reasons for developingour Guatemalan and Indonesiansources of nickel. The ore in anydeposit is not unlimited, and if mined,ultimately will be depleted. It wasclear to us as long as 40 years agothat it was not practical orresponsible to expand production atSudbury to the extent required tomeet the growing demand for nickel.Thus, we would have to developadditional resources outside ofSudbury if we were to maintain ourposition as a leading producer.

Since a mining company must gowhere the ore is and since theIndonesian and Guatemalan depositswere available to us, we decided in1973 and 1974, respectively, todevelop those projects to supplementour Canadian production and thusenable us to supply a part of theprojected long-term growth in nickelconsumption - particularly in certainmarkets such as Japan. Theseprojects should be viewed in thiscontext and not as threats toSudbury; a brief review of theircapacity and production will clearlydemonstrate this.

The Sudbury District remains oursingle largest source of nickel, andwe believe it will continue to be ourmost efficient mining and processingoperation in the foreseeable future.Our foreign projects in Guatemalaand Indonesia were designed tosupplement, not replace, ourCanadian production, and we are notabout to 'abandon" Sudbury as somepeople like to suggest. No one shouldmistake our intentions."

Along with the many Sudbury residentscrowding the council chambers was thisunidentified youngster, here attentivelylistening to Mr. Carter's address. lnco LimitedPresident Charles Baird smiles his approval atthe youngster's keen interest.

Computerized Analysis of Home InsulationRequirements Will Cut Your Heating Bill

-------------

Canada's energy demand growthrate is one of the highest in theWorld. At the current rate ofconsumption, our use of energywill double every 18 years, withconsumption of electrical energydoubling every ten years. There areonly two ways to meet the need:energy conservation anddevelopment of new energysources.

In order to conserve energy, theConservation and Renewable EnergyBranch offers Canadian homeownersan opportunity to find out exactlywhere home insulation is requiredand how much money can be saved.The program is called ENER$AVE,and the Utilities Department of IncoMetals Company in Copper Cliff is co-operating with the government tomake this service more easilyaccessable to homeowners in theSudbury area.

As a primary service, ENER$AVEoffers Sudbury and Districthouseholders a free, computerizedanalysis of their home insulationrequirements. Householders fill out

the Ener$ave questionaire, send it toENER$IVE in Ottawa, and in returnreceive a set of recommended homeinsulation procedures.

Since the decision to insulatehinges on economic considerations, afull cost-benefit is provided with eachrecommendation. The service isapplicable to all detached and rowhouses up to a maximum of threestories.

As a complement to the computeranalysis service, ENER$AVE alsooperates the Heatline, a telephoneadvisory service on all aspects ofhome insulation which can bereached toll-free from anywhere inthe country.

ENER$AVE'S toll-free Heatline isopen Monday to Friday from 0830 to1730 hours. The Heatline's bilingualpersonnel provide technical advice onhome insulation, details on Federaland Provincial Grant and Loanprograms and general householdenergy conservation information.

The Heatline can be reached bycalling TOLL-FREE 1-800-267-9563.

There are also excellent bookletsavailable from the FederalGovernment. Homeowners andanyone else interested in energyconservation can obtain them fromthe Utilities Department, Inco MetalsCompany, Copper Cliff.
