“…61 It is also likely that it was through Daniels that RSR Snr met RMC's longest-running senatorial ally, Lister Hill, for whom the former Navy Secretary was a mentor. 62 Aside from his connections through R. J. to southern Democratic circles, the Reynolds name carried considerable cultural, social, and symbolic capital in the South, evoking economic development in the "New South" after Reconstruction. These lent him considerable "ascribed trust", based on assumptions carried with that lineage, crucial to smoothing his way in these circles.…”

“…79 Caskie had also worked with Reynolds' most enduring political ally on Capitol Hill, and fellow Alabamian, Senator Lister Hill, on the ICC, in attempting to secure more preferential freight rates for southern businesses, all part of attempts to further animate regional industrialization. 80 A further sagacious short-term engagement was that of Frenchman Louis Marlio, stranded in wartime Washington by Nazi occupation of his country. The former head of the international aluminium cartel, and the senior figure in the French aluminum industry, Marlio helped RMC in brokering aluminium contracts with the British Purchasing Commission.…”

This article examines the Reynolds Metals Company’s political networking activities in Washington, D.C., and the state capitals of the U.S. South in the 1940s and 1950s. It argues that Reynolds’ astute recruitment of senior staff from federal and state governments, its adept building of elite networks in the legislative and executive branches, its judicious espousing of key political rhetoric (antitrust, regional development, national security), as well as its nurturing of Democratic circles in the South were crucial to their attainment of competitive advantage. This saw the company rise from being a new entrant in the U.S. primary aluminum production during World War II to the second-largest national producer by 1946 and a major global player by the mid-1950s. This same political networking was critical in maintaining that advantage after World War II in the face of competition from the Aluminum Company of America and the Canadian multinational Aluminium Company of Canada. Both “wartime” (covering the period from World War II and into the Cold War) and the legacy of government intervention (from the early twentieth century until the 1960s, including the New Deal) provided a fertile context for RMC’s business strategy. The company’s success owed much to founder Richard S. Reynolds Sr.’s acumen in hiring the right people, creating or joining the right networks, having the right social capital, as well as his experiences and connections accrued from working with his uncle, the noted tobacco magnate R. J. Reynolds. The article offers insights into the nature of U.S. business–government relations.

In this paper, the conical spiral blade cutting model is analyzed and deduced, and the conical spiral blade cutting formula and blanking method is studied. The blank is processed with Archimedes spiral cutting method,and the forming spiral can be completed only with several processing. The new blanking method makes complex production process more simplified, save a lot of material, and the design method is more suitable for actual production. In the actual machining process the desired results are achieved.

“…Similarly, Carl Elliott recalled that there was no alternative but to sign, "I knew there was no way I could survive and I hadn't yet achieved what I came to Congress to do. 10 The decision of Hill and Sparkman and the congressional delegation to side with the segregationist cause came at a decisive moment in the history of post-Brown race relations in Alabama. The state legislature had passed a host of anti-desegregation measures, Governor Jim Folsom had failed to stop mob violence at the University of Alabama when Autherine Lucy sought her court-ordered admission, and Montgomery blacks continued their bus boycott.…”

On Monday, March 12, Georgia's senior senator, Walter George, rose in the Senate to read a manifesto blasting the Supreme Court. The Manifesto condemned the “unwarranted decision” of the Court in Brown as a “clear abuse of judicial power” in which the Court “with no legal basis for such action, undertook to exercise their naked judicial power and substituted their personal political and social ideas for the established law of the land.” The signers pledged themselves “to use all lawful means to bring about a reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementation.” It was signed by nineteen of the twenty-two southern senators, by every member of the congressional delegations from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia, by all but one of the representatives from Florida, all but one from Tennessee, all but three from North Carolina, and half of the Texas delegation.
