Wanted: Oldest operating servo valve

Gary Parks, group vice president and general manager – industrial services at Moog Inc, comments: "Moog’s servo valves have a legendary reputation for reliability, and it’s not uncommon to find our valves in service for 25 years or more in tough environments like steel production, gas turbines and industrial machinery,”

The contest is open to anyone who can find a Moog servo valve in operation on a machine: Using a smartphone, take a photo of the valve including the serial number on the nameplate. Moog will use this information to check the date of the valve. Upload the photo and complete a short form at http://oldestvalve.moogglobalsupport.com/. The contest ends February 29, 2016.

The grand prize is an Amazon Voucher for US$500; there will also be Amazon vouchers for the second and third prizes and further chances to win in a monthly draw.
