A Blue Ribbon For The Sonic Red Dot!

Originating as I did from Northern Ireland, I have always maintained a great interest in the famous liner build in 1909 at Harland & Wolff’s Belfast site – The Titanic. Indeed the history of this great ship and it’s sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic was brought back to me recently by a BBC video news item which showed how the entire waste dockland area where these great liners were built is now the subject to one of the largest and most ambitious regeneration plans - take a look at this video clip.

A very special young friend of mine, Oliver, bought me a fantastic book on the Titanic called The Titanic Experience and it begins by highlighting how major transatlantic shipping lines competed to win the coveted Blue Riband. Three of the main competitors were Cunard, the Hamburg-America Line and the White Star Line, which were the owners of the Titanic. Of the 33 Atlantic lines which won this prestigious award, 33 were British, 5 were German, 3 American and 1 each, Italy and France.

With all these great luxury liners, speed was paramount as was winning the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing. It also reminded me about two good reasons why Primasonics® Sonic Horns provide such a powerful and efficient means of preventing particulate build up and maintaining material flow – Speed & Radius! The acoustic sound waves produced by our Primasonics® Sonic Horns travel through air at a speed of 224 m/second (1100 feet/second), much faster through solids and with a 360° radius.

So where does the red dot come into the equation? Well we have just updated our company logo and documentation to include a red dot.

Likewise as from now when you see a sonic horn with a red top – you will know that it is the finest sonic horn available – A Primasonics® Sonic Horn!
