Vault machine in action at Bank of America structure

Alex Bates designed a vault-placement machine and activates it in a $252000 Bank of America building on 4th Street between Pine and Locust Aves. The 1500 pound device positions a 6 ton vault door like a puzzle piece. It aims to reduce injuries after two workers died elsewhere in May and has been used 16 times without a man being hurt.

City commissions study Navy hospital site to spare El Dorado Park

The City Park Planning and Recreation commissions on Wednesday debated locations for a Navy hospital here. They opposed using the southeast park site near Spring Street and the San Gabriel River, urging a committee to propose alternate areas before city negotiations continue. Park director Don Obert urged keeping the southeast area for a wildlife refuge and park use.
