INTRODUCTION

Everything you need to know about conveyors is on the web. By the rules we set ourselves, the first version of a review like this should be no longer than about five pages. This version is intended to be a quick checklist and guide to the plethora of information on conveyors. We intersperse it with observations and stories that we find interesting and that may entertain you. But more important: if you have news, views, or information that you can share with us to put in the next and subsequent versions of this ever-green, a-building document, please let us have them.
