Mr. Sandman is a popular song written by Pat Ballard and published in 1954. It was first recorded in May of that year by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra and later that year by The Chordettes and the Four Aces.


The Chordettes' single reached nº 1 on all three of Billboard's popular music charts and was ranked nº 9 in Cash Box's ranking of "1955's Top Pop Records". In 2002, the 1954 recording of the song by The Chordettes was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The song's lyrics convey a request to "Mr. Sandman" to "bring me a dream", the traditional association of the folkloric figure originating in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore. Sandman visits children in the evening, sprinkles sleep-inducing sand into their eyes and brings dreams. In the morning, the sleep sand is rubbed from the corner of the eyes...

Emmylou Harris's recording of the song was a hit in multiple countries in 1981. Other versions of the song have been produced by Chet Atkins (1954) and Bert Kaempfert (1968).

More recently, SYML - which is the solo venture of Brian Fennell, an American musician - recorded it's own interpretation cover of that same song which is consider to be an amazing rendition of "Mr. Sandman", full of feeling, beautiful sadness and loneliness vibe.

This last one really is a beautiful edition of the song, really hits inside hard... Someone made an one hour long video of it even, if you want to listen to it non-stop! I know I did...

When injecting plastic parts and components, it's inevitable to get faults, defects and issues. You must have a robust, stable, controlled process to prevent this as much as possible.

If any injected part has been previously produced satisfactorily and it now goes wrong, something has changed. The main principle is never to change conditions immediately. The cause / reason should be identified and rectified.

Never adjust one condition to compensate for a failure or change in another condition.

For example, if melt temperature has increased, don’t reduce speeds or pressures or mold temperature to compensate. Identify the problem, that is to say reduce melt temperature, check and replacing thermocouples, etc. in order to get melt temperature back to intended.


Ask yourself questions:

Identify causes of defects:
