I have dealt with Will-Burt Manufacturing for nearly 20 years in the 
broadcast business. They build nearly all of the pneumatic (microwave) 
masts used in live broadcast vehicles, emergency light "towers" on 
emergency vehicles, specialty masts for the military, etc.  While they 
have on occasion had quality problems, they have always stood behind 
their products.  

I spoke to my contact at Will-Burt about their acquisition of Tri-Ex 
this week and he indicated they were about half way through engineering 
analysis, and redesign/strengthening where necessary.  We purchase the
pneumatic product direct from Will-Burt ... 

I like the prospect for the "new" Tri-Ex with Will-Burt.  Their 
production capacity should be greatly enhanced and their quality 
should be much more consistent.
