@richp1001 The Worst is changing a Blowhead arm or Neckring arms etc on the run... At least on a mech change you can have the two sections biside you shut down.

there are still lynch 10 machines working in Congo at Boukin. I designed moulds for it 3 month ago. They are replacing them with R7 machines. I gues this will be the end of them
-
I can relate to that. I lasted 2 1/2 years and that was enough for me. The heat was just ridiculous, especially when changing moulds.

thats a weird machine

I worked at Lavington BC glas splant from 1996 to 2008 when they shut us down. I loved working in the forming department. I got pretty good at using the drum wrench over the years and never lost one in a drum drive!
Never seen a picture of a Lynch machine elt alone the legendary Lynch 10!

to audioglass, have you looked at some of the other sites on this subject? Go to Alloa Glassworks 1950...very interesting AND Glass plant..gives a good view of an IS machine. The stuff I made on nights etc have long gone.

Thanks for your insight. I have never seen a full-on factory like this before. I worked in Dartington Crystal from 1996 to 2000. They had a robot arm that gathered into casting molds. It could never match the Swedish ball gatherers in the factory though.
Do you still have any of the pieces you made on the night shifts? I used to do that in my break times and dinner times. I ended up gaving most of it away.

I have worked in a glass plant for the last 5 years! if only people could feel the heat coming of these machines they would know just how hard a job it is!

I Did this work frm 1968 to 1974 at Dale,Brown co ltd Swinton south yorkshire England.....then went lorry driving. It was interesting but very noisy and hot. The IS machines were only single and double gob back then.Also worked on baby lynch machines and the awsome Lynch 10. Good times...made swans and ashtrays on night shifts lol
