Proven performers
Patz hook-and-eye links have proven their value
over the years. The forged steel links provide
strength and durability. The Patz link design pro
vides chain flexibility that takes sprocket, corners
and elevations smoothly for layout flexibility and
minimum wear.
Choose the Model 400 (blue) link with more
than 2 pounds of steel, or choose the thicker XH
(red) link for longer pulls and heavier loads.
Progression forging builds extra strength into
hook-and-eye link contact points. Final heat
treating increased hardness, strength and wear
resistance. Patz links withstand corrosion for long
chain life.

Hardy Appointed
at Cornell
ITHACA, NY - Ralph W. F.
Hardy, one of the nation’s leading
scientists in the field of life
sciences and an authority on
biotechnology, has been named
president and chief executive
officer of the Boyce Thompson
Institute for Plant Research at
Cornell University.
Hardy will assume his new
duties Sept. 1, 1986, succeeding
Roy A. Young, who has served as
managing director of BTI since
1900. Young and his wife plan to
return to Oregon, where be was
associated with Oregon State
University for many years.
Hardy is the fifth chief executive
officer of the research institute.
Established in 1924 in Yonkers,
NY, the institute moved to Cornell
campus in 1978. Recognized
worldwide as a leading research
organization of its kind, BTI is
dedicated to the improvement of
food and fiber production and to
the maintenance of environmental
quality. BTI concentrates its
research efforts entirely on plants,
focusing (xi four primary program
areas - biological control, en
vironmental biology, nitrogen and
crop yields, and plant stress.
Christian C. Hohenlohe,
chairman of the BTI Board of
Directors, said: “The directors are
extremely pleased that Ralph
Hardy agreed to Join the Boyce
Thompson Institute as president.
He brings a wealth of rich ex
perience to his new post. He is a
proven administrator and a highly
successful business executive; he
also has the academic credentials
and professional interest to ef
fectively guide the plant research
activities on which the institute has
developed its international
reputation.”
Hohenlohe also announced the
change in title from managing
director to president. He ex
plained, “The directors felt that
since the institute is a private,
independent, not-for-profit cor
poration, assigning the title of
president to the chief executive
officer would certainly be in
keeping with recognized business
practices. Further, the title of
president more accurately reflects
the broad scope and heavy
responsibility of managing this
major research enterprise, which
employs a staff of 130 and operates
with an annual budget of almost $8
million.”
