Earliest Developments

Below are shown some of Kishpaugh's earliest developments.
These were done when he was an employee for other companies.

The slat stacker, designed to cut thin boards into slats used in the manufacture of wirebound boxes was the first or second machine he designed and built. Most or all of the parts were made by his employer's excellent shop. It worked properly the first time tried...a surprise to some. The boards were coated on both sides with plastic by the laminating machine shown below and cut by the slitter shown at the right prior to being fed to the stacker.

The slat slitter was the second or first machine he designed and built. It used quite a few commercial parts and the balance of parts was made by the excellent shop referred to at the left.

He didn't design the plastic laminating system shown above, but he designed some of the components and drafted others in addition to doing some of the assembly and helping others debug it in the shop and in the field.

He also designed hydraulic lift tables for the paper industry. Imagine toilet paper rolls about ten feet in diameter and twenty feet long and you will be imagining one of the kinds of products that were handled by the roll unloaders. The design process wasn't as challenging as one might think because the basic machines had been developed before my time and each new machine was for the most part putting together components from previous designs by others.
