Abstract:  
I don’t remember the first time I met Ron John but our records indicate his company, Tealgate, was mentioned in a 1990 Shot Peener magazine. By the end of the decade, we became distributors of each other’s products. As I recall, Ron worked at VacuBlast when a media flow monitor was needed. Professor Maurice Beck, a VacuBlast consultant, developed a series of sensors for various concentrations of media used in abrasive cleaning operations. At some point, Ron created Tealgate to manufacture and sell the devices; first to VacuBlast and then to other companies including Electronics Inc.
