Gang-Nail's Golden Anniversary
- Inventor Cal Jureit created a prototype of the Gang-Nail metal connector plate fifty years ago.
- Jureit’s plate had metal teeth, eliminating the need for materials like nails, bolts or glue to be used in wood truss manufacturing.
- Jureit’s company Gang-Nails, Inc. be-came Automated Building Components, Inc. in 1961, and is now MiTek, Inc.
