Product and commercial experience includes electric arc furnaces, a walking beam furnace, HY-80 steel castings, hydraulic cranes, a piggyback forklift, long-wall mining equipment, slitters, welding rods and welding and cutting power sources, compressors, bench saws, ramcars, haulage vehicles, cut-to-length lines, a hot water heater, and aluminum truck wheels. Consumer products defended include humidifiers, power tools, lamps and toys. Defamation and First Amendment experience includes representation of members of the print media.
