Dear group. I'm on the planning team for a large new art building in Philly. It means moving a lot of equipment from the old building to the new building--provided the equipment meets current electrical codes and OSHA guarding rules. The art metal/plastics laboratory that does jewelry and sculpture work in particular has tons of machinery. They have 50 year old equipment for cyanide plating that they want to bring--a whole row of these. There are dozens of other Rube Goldbergesque electrical thingies the likes of which I've never seen. They have every kind of metal working machines from laser cutters to mechanical shears. There are metal lathes that range from tiny bench models to 10 feet long. There is an ancient pressurized caldron-like reactor for making their own plastics from monomers! And on and on. WHERE oh, where do I find someone who knows enough about this stuff to evaluate it? What kind of job or title would such a person have?
