George M. Wilfley Comments
About Bonardi Biography
GEORGE M. WILFLEY, president
of A. R. Wilfley & Sons, Inc.,
made the following remarks in a recent
letter to J. P. Bonardi, E.M,
1921:
"It seems to me that your biographer
has done you an injustice by not
including mention of the large contribution
which you made in introducing
the first packingless pump into
the chemical industry. There is no
doubt that the extensive background
which you had in both chemical and
metallurgical research was an important
factor when you turned your
efforts to improving the problems of
the chemical process industry. The
problem which we are most familiar
with being that of the inadequacy of
known pumps and pumping technology.
"Your history probably reflects one
of the first crossovers from research
to practical process which has become
so important in industrial progress
today." (See p. 18, Feb. 1970
MINES Magazine for "Profile of a
Mines graduate.")
