Technical Notebook
Monday, December 16th, 2002 TechnologyCongratulations to Claims on it’s 50th year of publishing information for the claim industry. The Technical Notebook column started in 1982, with the first article on adjusting water-damaged computer equipment, and was originally called Technically Speaking. To date, more than 120 articles have been published in the areas of accident reconstruction, failure analysis, building losses, automobile losses, and industrial claims. The column tends to be pictorial in nature, with concise explanations of photos from actual losses. The adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is especially true here because of the uniqueness and complexity of the subject matter. In keeping with Claims’ 50th year, the following are examples of subject matter excerpted from the past 20 years of Technical Notebook.
