No-pack Blankets — Packing Their Troubles Away

But, in June 1997, the Vulcan Com No Pak blanket dispelled that perception. "With our old pack blankets, the operators had to put the blankets on, 'run them in' to get the stretch out, then repack and retorque them repeatedly to keep the gauge where it ought to be," Winn says.

"But with the Vulcan Com No Pak," he attests, "we can install a blanket that is the right size, has virtually no stretch, holds its gauge, gives us excellent dot reproduction and we never have to pack again."
