Over the next 30 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) expects consumers to save $12.9 billion because of new energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers.

May 1987, CBT (then known as Cincinnati Belting & Transmission) featured our partnership with Lovejoy in our monthly newsletter. The page displayed an ad for Lovejoy's Deltaflex couplings:
With the help of a Deltaflex coupling, even badly misaligned components can deliver the same efficiency and performance as perfectly aligned ones do. And it's all because of Deltaflex's unique, double engaging flex link patented design. It allows Deltaflex to accommodate substantially greater angular (six degrees), parallel, and axial shaft misalignment with no vibration, backlash, or heavy reaction loads on shaft bearings.
