Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content  Quality, a
Western New York tradition  Western New York is known for many
things, including quality. Ask anyone who has moved away about
the quality of goods and services in other parts of the country
and you might hear longing for things done on time and done
right the first time. We take it for granted how well people
here do their jobs.  One recent example is Carleton Technologies
in Orchard Park, now Baumgartner formally called Cobham Orchard
Park. The folks there made some critical pieces of the space
suit Felix Baumgartner wore during his 24-mile jump from a
balloon, shattering the previous record. Carleton makes the
breathing apparautus that high altitude pilots in the U-2 planes
use. The safety engineers on Baumgartner's team contacted
Carleton and the engineers there helped set them up.  As seen in
this amazing ideo, everything worked beautifully.  That's
quality.  - Grove Potter  comments powered by Disqus
