Actually they don't switch anything, they simply open the valves a little wider to increase a market place enforced rate of feed demand Jim. Most Refineries don't shut off process feeds, they more or less let them "idle," on demand and price. When Bridgestone wants rubber they'll make a call to the suppliers and the valve will be opened for whatever is required and then squeezed ever so gently back off, but never to full stop. Expensive that start-up and shut-down costs Jim.

Actually, this is the precursor to coming later in the week/month for a new loan double the previous...you know better.

Lots of rubber activity here in the North. Balls loaded up to the overflow levels on many trucks I saw traveling the road into Chiang Rai...who knows?
