"I'm using the EPC Model 4600 Graphic
Recorder with an EG&G equipment for geophysical research (Uniboom).
I know that is an old equipment, but it works very well. Thanks
to the very robust project and respectable companies involved in
it."
- Geraldo Cunha
MICROARS Consultroia e Projetos Ltda commenting on the EPC Model
4600 still in operation after 24 years. (The 4600 was discontinued
in 1978).

Anytime the EPC Monthly runs copy on a trade show,
we tend to get a lot of response. Last Issue's segment, "Top
Ten Reasons OI should stay in Brighton" (VOL.
3 NO. 36), was no exception. A sampling from our readers:
"Your fundamental knowledge of the physics
of the universe has again led to true meaning and understanding.
If you are ever looking for a job please call..."
- Anonymous husband commenting on wife's credit card doing more
damage in London (No. 1 reason).
"London could be serious plastic meltdown."
- Anonymous husband No. 2
"The problem is going to be that when
the show closes most people will disperse all over London and we
will lose the feature that Brighton offered which kept people very
close together within 2 or 3 blocks. Spearhead claim they are going
to have after conference functions, but if you have been on an exhibition
stand all day long, you are not going to want to go straight to
a reception, you will want to go and get changed and then go out
for dinner later on."
"I think Spearhead have totally missed
the plot."

If you haven't checked out the newest EPC We Site
do it now http://www.epclabs.com.
All the substantive content remains but now in a sleeker, easier
to navigate design. Voted the Number One new marine related web
site on the Internet! (voted on by EPC marketing staff). The web
site was designed and implemented by Curley
Design Group, (sound familiar - it should). Like the old site
better? Want to see something added or different? We value your
input and want to know. Please forward compliments, complaints,
and your 2 cents worth to sales@epclabs.com.

SYMPTOM: Occasionally thermal printers produce
"drop out" areas of print on the record. Where there is
suppose to be print there is none, or very light records. This is
remedied with a simple mechanical adjustment.
TOOLS NEEDED: #4 Hex Wrench.
PROCEDURE: If drop out occurs on either the right
side or left side of the record, adjust the #4 set screw in the
PRINT ROLLER ASSEMBLY. First, slide latch on roller door forward
into locked position. Insert # Hex Wrench into the semi-circle cut
out in the latch. If the right side of the print drops out, then
rotate the set screw either up or down to eliminate drop-out. This
will adjust the relative position of the Print Roller to the element
line by rotating the tuning screw. Drop-out very rarely occurs in
the middle of the10" recorders (1086 & HSP-100). For drop
out in the middle, adjust the set screws on either side of the PRINT
ROLLER ASSEMBLY.

EPC is pleased to be participating in the upcoming
Oceanology International Conference in London, 5-8 March 2002. Despite
all of the lamenting and wailing over the move from Brighton to
London, the Excel
Conference looks like a world class Conference Center in a world
class city. The OI event is still the preeminent conference in the
industry. Whether new logistics propose a problem to the large audience
is yet to be determined.
EPC will be exhibiting the new Model 9206 (high
speed, "wide-bed"), the MP-1086 and HSP-100. The 1086NT
will be exhibited in the MacArtney A/S Booth 6/27. As far as events,
EPC will host a Sales Representative Meeting at Excel on Wednesday,
March 6th. At the luncheon EPC will award the "Sales Representative
of the Year" and "Sales Achievement" Award. For details,
e-mail: sales@epclabs.com.
In addition to the sales representative meeting, EPC will host a
daily keg throwing competition at the booth and will be attending
every hospitality suite we can weasel into.

There's a first for everything. Over the three
years of running the EPC Monthly we've had our fair share of misspellings
and offensive attempts at humor, but last month we had our first
request for a retraction. After our glowing recommendation of our
sales representative in Houston, Survey Equipment Services, we incorrectly
stated their web address as http://www-ses-services.com. The correct
address (hyphen not period after www) is http://www.ses-services.com.
We apologize for the thousands who incorrectly attempted to log
on.

I just sit here and put it together in a couple of minutes? O.K.
it really doesn't take that long, but why would you want to unsubscribe?
Never mind. To unsubscribe, if you must, please reply and type "I'm
