There is a lot of material, both old and new that had been "published internally" at IPST (formerly Institute of Paper Chemistry).  It is available on the Georgia Tech website, http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/124 .  The articles can be searched by author, title, or "words".  It would take a little time (probably less than 2 hours), but you can scan through all the article titles (A to black and white stripes) to see what might interest you.  All are downloadable (PDFs).  You can also sign up to be notified whenever a new article is posted.  It seems like a fine source for the work done at the old Institute of Paper Chemistry and now IPST.  Submitted by Chuck Green.

 "Gathering the Rolling Experiences"
 
To run any business or organization, we have to deal with various tricky problems. The problems maybe related to manpower, machinery, regulatory bodies, materials or just anything else. Trapped in the middle of any problem, we desperately want to solve these and make various efforts. Finally, when we come out of a situation, we are always richer by something- Experience. But, why should we waste our resources, time, energy and money in gaining experiences? Why cannot we get benefited with someone else's experiences? The book,"Gathering the Rolling Experiences" is an effort to present several such management case studies. The author, D K Singhal, has an experience of around 28 years in paper industry and most of the cases discussed here in the book are related to paper industry. 

 This is a must have book for everyone related to any industry, specially the paper industry.

 "Wipe up that Grease"

Case studies are specially helpful when bookish knowledge fails to combine all the relevant information to come to a conclusion. This book presents several industrial case studies of mechanical engineering, specially related to paper mills. In addition, there are several brainstorming problems discussed here. Typical cases include- press roll run out, frequent press roll bearing failure, MG (Yankee) gearbox failure, MG bearing housing bolt breaking, DG alternator flashing problem and supercalender uneven loading etc.

 

Production managers, mechanical engineers and all concerned would find this e-book very useful.
