凯斯是哪个？

  玩工业，一般都要有个系统性，就是这东西是怎么来的？谁是那个玩意儿的始祖，发展的脉络是什么，

  现在国内很少有人了解这些了，就是抓过来‘集成’，其实也不是集成，就是把鬼子找过来，要买一个什么东西，有时连买什么都不甚了解，就找一个家伙，那家伙他了解就可以了，哈哈，

  人家突然问我，凯斯是谁？有一个家伙了解勒图尔勒的，问俺，是勒图尔勒厉害，还是凯斯厉害，哈哈，

真是巧了，先占个位。
还是没有传承和积累。不知前因后果，历史在不断重复着，在转圈，
不停地在跳着，抄一把就走的心态。
形势越来越紧迫罗。。。呵呵

希傲

俺不是业内人士，百度一下后才了解一点点，有这么久历史的公司业内人士不了解就说不过去了。

我很呆

这些非大批量量产的巨型家伙。车间用空调吗？
目测不会用。

以前公司有人讲，以后就是模块化设计，根本用不着设计怎么计算与了解，工作会很轻松。俺当时就想，那东西怎么个原理都不是太清楚，关键使用点都不明白，您怎么能最大限度的发挥这个东东的最大优势呢，那种想法就是自欺欺人。

迷茫的维修

现在，真的越来越没落了
各种油泵，液压站不会选型
直接把液压供应商叫过来
轴断了
就是分析力大了，材料差了
也没有去分析断面、裂纹的
没有人去看维修手册
最基础的维修故障，书上写的明明白白的，没人去看书

现在汽车实际也是模块化设计，但是必要的校核还是要的，只是提升了设计速度，传统的反复设计过程得到改善而已

case new holland?
从玩蒸汽农机开始到世界领导地位的中小型工程机械。回头去找找电影看。

哈哈，大虾，是下面这个家伙

Ralph H. Kress, “The Father Of The Off-Highway Truck,” spent almost fifty years designing and developing mining trucks.  His ideas are still evident in the configuration of mine haulage trucks at surface mines throughout the world.

In 1930, working as a highway truck salesman in New England, Ralph Kress designed an automatic clutch for his Packard car, received a patent, and drove it for 35,000 miles without incident.  Bill Crawford, VP Engineering at General Motors, recognized Ralph’s ability and suggested that he get an engineering degree, so he could fully realize his potential.  From 1933 through 1939, Ralph attended night school at M.I.T.  After receiving his degree, he began working for G.M.  When the war began, he went to Washington as a G.M. representative.

In March of 1943, Ralph Kress received a commission in the Transportation Corps.  For his exceptional war efforts, he was awarded the “Legion of Merit, 军团勋章” which states “foresight, initiative, perseverance, and aggressive action marked the valuable duty accomplishments of Major Kress in skillfully producing improved cargo hauling equipment of vital need to the military effort.”

In 1950, Ralph Kress became General Manager of the Dart Company. There he was the first to rely exclusively on full power steering, a basic requirement for larger trucks.  His Dart 75-TA rear-dump hauled 75 tons, the largest truck at that time.  The front axle, with four front tires, was suspended in the center on the first off-highway oleo-pneumatic suspension, a revolutionary advance that replaced leaf springs.  During Ralph’s Dart tenure, through 1955, Dart increased its sales six times, and no mining truck other than a Dart was sold west of the Mississippi during his last two years with the company.

In December 1955 as a consultant to WABCO, now Komatsu, Ralph Kress configured a truck incorporating the most efficient components available at the time, recognizing that tires are not suspensions, driver comfort is essential, and reducing shock loads on structures enhances efficient design.  To accomplish this, he incorporated a short wheelbase with a high angle of turn and a deep, sloped, flat body.  In 1957, the first 32-ton Haulpaks were delivered along with 75-ton tractor-trailer coal haulers using the 32-ton Haulpaks as tractors.  Haulpaks soon increased in size and became the truck of choice at many large surface mines.

In 1962, Ralph Kress joined Caterpillar, where he developed a line of 85-ton, 105-ton, and 240-ton electric drive trucks, again pointing the way to the future.

After retiring from Caterpillar in 1969, Ralph joined his son Ted Kress, who had started Kress Corporation four years earlier.  There, he developed the Kress unitized bottom-dump coal hauler, featuring a long wheelbase with two axles and four tires on each axle for improved stability and safety and 90 degree steering on the front axle, giving exceptional maneuverability.

Ralph Kress was without question the preeminent designer of mining trucks during his years in the business.  His innovative 1957 design for the WABCO Haulpak was recognized even in 1998 at the “Haulage 2000” Conference as the “Truck Configuration of the Future.”
