How much this German created! He was the first man to introduce the cold saw that cut cold iron the exact lengths. He invented upsetting machines to make bridge links, and also built the first "universal" mill in America. All these were erected at our works. When Captain Eads could not obtain the couplings for the St. Louis Bridge arches (the contractors failing to make them) and matters were at a standstill, Kloman told us that he could make them and why the others had failed. He succeeded in making them. Up to that date they were the largest semicircles that had ever been rolled. Our confidence in Mr. Kloman may be judged from the fact that when he said he could make them we unhesitatingly contracted to furnish them.

白话
卡内基赞叹克洛曼的创造力：他率先引入冷锯，能精确切割冷铁；发明了制作桥梁连杆的镦锻机，还建了美国第一台万能轧机。这些都在卡内基的工厂里建成。当埃兹船长因承包商做不出圣路易斯桥拱的连接件而停工，克洛曼说明了他能做以及别人失败的原因，并成功做出当时最大的半圆件。卡内基说，克洛曼一开口说能做，他们就毫不犹豫地签合同供货，可见信任之深。核心是：识别并信任有真本事的人，敢把关键任务交给他。

今日一问
你身边有没有像克洛曼这样有真本事的人？你是否敢把关键任务交给他？
