Shipping CRT's

[Kevin Kuehn]

Looking at Johns damaged CRT it appears to have been subjected to extreme vibration, possibly the result of many shaker sorting conveyors. Unfortunately the mass of a heavy plywood container may have contributed to that situation. One can only conclude that the CRT was not adequately shock mounted inside the shipping container. Also, there is no guarantee that a shipping container will stay in any preferred orientation during shipment, regardless of the package's warning labels, but there's a natural tendency for it to remain heavy side down.
