P-39s crowded on the ramp outside Bell’s factory in Buffalo, New York awaiting final assembly, 1941 This reminds me of an incident that took place while I was working in Buffalo. I had called on Bell/Textron a number of times and had a good feeling about getting my foot in the door. They were a very loyal IBM account. Their computer room was one of a kind. Mainframes are huge and because they carry sensitive data thee computer room are built away from prying eyes. But not Bell. They spent a lot of money and wanted to show off their expenditures to the public. The room was right next to the lobby and one wall of the room was glass. About 70 feet of it. The only thing separating the room from the outside environment was that glass. And it wasn't special glass like HERCULITE ARMORED GLASS. Just plain old double pane. Buffalo gets lots of storms and definitely lots of snow but one thing it didn't get was large hail. Until it did - golf ball sized hail which broke about 40 feet of the glass exposing the computer room to the storm and the outside elements. I had heard about the incident from a friend of mine who couldn't keep a smirk off his face. "How stupid do you have to be to build your computer room in that fashion?" His was in the basement. |
