Milling Journal - Q2 2008 - (Page 54) Magnetic Sign and Flag Holders Aldon Company, Inc. • Waukegan, IL • 847-623-8800 www.aldonco.com More than 5,000 years after the Chinese invented the compass by floating a sliver of lodestone in a cup of water, uses for magnets are still being created. The Aldon Company, Inc., manufacturer of railroad safety and track repair products, has introduced three new rail safety products that utilize magnets: • Magnet-base sign holder. • Magnetic railroad flag holder. • Magnetic sign bracket. "Worker convenience was our first consideration for designing these new products," says President Joe Ornig. "We chose rare-earth magnets encased in stainless steel to ensure a firm grip on the rails," Ornig says. "Workers no longer have to bend down and struggle with a clamping fixture in the dark or cold," Ornig adds. "All you do is plunk the holder down on the rail and go on with your work." "The aluminum sign holder is the first real improvement in rail sign holder design in 40 years," he says. "It weighs half as much as a steel sign holder and large handle-clamps makes attachment to the rail easy—no pinched fingers," says Ornig.
