His young face was a haggard mask and his blue eyes plumbed the depths of hell. Three weeks of riding, enough to kill a weaker man, three horses dead under him and now—this!
He remembered the letter in his pocket and he drew it forth. The chill morning wind rippled the stained paper.
Son:
I wish you could come back, if only for a little while. I realize that you are making money and a name for yourself, and I know that you probably still think that I was unduly hard on you at times, but believe me, my boy, when I say that I need you.
The day of the small rancher in Pecos Valley is over and the combines are moving in with better stock and more capital. Men, because of their money, think that they can buy a thing for which other men have given their lives.
Some day my part of this range will be yours. I have tried to keep it for you, son. But now I need help. Harvey Dodge, whom I once knew on the old Chisholm Trail as a raider, has come here.
Please do not fail me!
Your father,
| Translation - Spanish
Su rostro joven era una máscara demacrada y los ojos azules parecían vagar por las profundidades del infierno. Tres semanas a caballo, lo bastante como para haber acabado con un hombre menos recio que él, tres caballos muertos a sus espaldas y ahora ¡esto!
Recordó la carta de su bolsillo y la sacó. El viento helado de la mañana hizo ondular el papel manchado.
Hijo:
Ojalá pudieras volver, aunque fuera sólo un momento. Me hago cargo de que estás haciendo dinero y ganándote un nombre, y sé que seguramente sigues pensando que a veces fui demasiado duro contigo, pero créeme, hijo mío, cuando te digo que te necesito.
Los buenos tiempos del pequeño ranchero de Pecos Valley han pasado a mejor vida y las asociaciones se están instalando con mayor surtido y más capital. Hay hombres que creen que pueden comprar sólo con su dinero una cosa por la que otros hombres han entregado sus vidas.
Llegará el día en que mi parte de este rancho será tuya. He intentado mantenerla para ti, hijo. Pero ahora necesito ayuda. Harvey Dodge, un bandolero que conocí tiempo atrás en el Sendero de Chisholm, se ha presentado aquí.
¡Por piedad, no me falles!
Tu padre,

Screw compressors require minimal maintenance and are economical for selections over 100 tons. Reciprocating compressors usually require more maintenance, but have a lower initial cost. Either type of compressor can be used in series to achieve the required refrigerant capacity.
Detailed inslructions on the operation of the compressor are available from the manufacturer. These instructions are generally complete, including pictures of the various components, and are all that is required for the operation of the machine.
Gas drive compressors are a viable option in regions where electrical costs are high and natural gas is available as an alternative power source.

Los compresores de hélice requieren un mantenimiento mínimo y resultan económicos para selecciones de más de 100 toneladas. Los compresores intercambiables habitualmente requieren un mayor mantenimiento pero presentan un coste inicial inferior. Cualquiera de los dos tipos de compresor puede emplearse en serie para conseguir la capacidad de refrigeración requerida.
Instrucciones detalladas acerca del funcionamiento del compresor son proporcionadas por el fabricante. Por lo común estas instrucciones son completas, incluyendo ilustraciones de los distintos componentes y, en general, todo lo que se necesita para poner en funcionamiento el aparato en cuestión.
Los compresores de gas constituyen una opción viable en aquellas regiones donde los costes de la electricidad son elevados y el gas natural se encuentra disponible como una fuente de energía alternativa.
