Comments	ALL I HAD THE PRIVILEGE GETTING A CONTRACT AS AN APPRENTICE WITH THE AC IMPORTERS FOR WEST GERMANY, MESSRS. SCHMIDT&KOCH, BREMEN. DEPITE I MADE A COMMERCIAL APPRENTICESHIP, I WAS FOR TRAINING AND PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE 12 MONTHS AT THE AFTER SALES SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND I ENJOYED EVEN MORE THAN DOING THE OFFICE AND BOOKKEEPING JOBS. AT THOSE DAYS EVERYTHING RELATED TO "AMERICA" WAS ADORED. I ENJOYED IT AND MY SCHOOL MATES WERE A LITTLE BIT JEALOUS, AS I WAS WORKING FOR A COMPANY IMPORTING BIG AMERICN MACHINES. MY FAVOURITE WAS THE HD6G IN THE BEGINNING, HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THE ARTICULATED WHELL LOADER TL40 CAME, I CHANGED MY MIND AND USED IT AT THE BACKYARD OF THE HIGHE OFICEBUILDING "FOR TRAINING PURPOSES". IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WAS DEALING WITH FOREIGN IMPORTERS? VERY UNUSUAL FOR GERMANY I GOT A COMPANY CAR, IT WAS A VOLKSWAGEN VAN. VERY IMPRESSIVELY DECORATED ALL OVER WITH THE ORIGINAL AC BRIGHT ORANGE AND A SERVICE MAN WITH A BIG WRENCH IN HIS HAND AND IN BIG BLACK LETTERS: ALLIS-CHALMERS. WHAT A PRIVILEGE!. WHENEVER THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF CERTAIN SPARES I HAD TO DRIVE TO SWITZERLAND TO THE IMPORTER "MAWI" GETTING HELP AND SMUGGLING THESE PARTS OVER THE SWISS / WEST GERMAN BORDER. UNFORGETTABLE! I STILL ENJOY IT. NOW AT THE AGE OF 66 YEARS I AM STILL IN THE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT BUSINESS FOR PUTZMEISTER CONCRETE PUMPS. ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. I CANNOT DESCRIBE WITH MY RATHER POOR ENGLISH MY SYPATHY FOR THIS GREAT COMPANY ALLIS-CHALMERS. FRITZ
