	The Truck Driver Who Reinvented Shipping — HBS Working Knowledge
		McLean soon began hauling dirt, produce, and other odds and ends for the farming community in Maxton, where reliable transportation was hardly commonplace.
		McLean patented a steel-reinforced corner-post structure, which allowed the trailers to be gripped for loading from their wheeled platforms and provided the strength needed for stacking.
		McLean also needed to persuade port authorities to redesign their dockyards to accommodate the lifting and storage of trailers, and he needed to rapidly expand the scope of his operations to ensure a steady and reliable revenue stream.

		McLean secured a bank loan for $22 million and in January 1956 bought two World War II T-2 tankers, which he converted to carry containers on and under deck.
		McLean also developed non-maritime inventions, including a means of lifting a patient from a stretcher onto a hospital bed.

	McMean.com \|\| Bio
		Malcolm McLean, known to his friends as "Mal" or "Colm" or "Colmover" or "You with the hair," was a mere five years old when his real parents, a pack of wolves, abandoned him in the rural backwater of Whistlewicket, North Carolina.
		Malcolm ran inside the farmhouse covered in ketchup and blood, unable to communicate to his parents that he was bleeding all over, because his parents did not speak English on weekdays.
		Malcolm's website– a bastardized contraction of sorts – is so titled because in the course of his life, only one person has spelled his full name correctly on the first try.

	The McLean Family
		Daniel, the infant, was born in 1854 or 1855 in Arkleston, Renfrew.
		Malcolm, the youngest child, was born 6 September 1882, and died at the age of eleven.
		Malcolm and Julia kept the family cordial factory going and eventually moved it to Botany (which is where Olga visited it) to be near their new Maroubra home.

	ePolitix.com - Malcolm McLean - chief executive of the Office of the Pensions Advisory Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Malcolm McLean: We are an independent body, partially funded by the government - we get a grant from the Occupational Pensions Regulatory Authority - and we have a very broad remit and that is to help individual members of the public with pension problems.
		Malcolm McLean: No. Despite the fact that people are living longer, it's a mistake to think that people are capable of working until 70 or 75.
		Malcolm McLean: The main issue that comes out of the report is the perception that we have that people are shying away from pensions because they don't see them as safe.

	Seagate : Malcolm McLean
		McLean, known as the father of containerization and named Man of the Century by the International Maritime Hall of Fame, truly lived the American Dream.
		A native of North Carolina and direct descendant of Scottish immigrants, Malcolm claimed that he came up with the idea one day in the 1930s as he was sitting on the dock in New Jersey waiting for bales of cotton to be unloaded from his truck.
		McLean's cargo shipped faster and cheaper because loading and unloading times were shortened at each end of the voyage.

	ISO - International Organization for Standardization
		Malcolm McLean invented the shipping container in the 1930s in New Jersey, while sitting at a dock waiting all day for cargo he had carried there in his truck to be reloaded onto a ship.
		Malcolm's foresight was not limited to the concept of the freight container.
		It is the standardization of container sizes and these fittings by ISO that has been so essential to the free intermodal interchange of containers and the ensuing dominance of the freight container in international commerce.

		To refute this was Malcolm's challenge, and the paragraph the goad.
		At Imperial College, besides his inspiring research leadership, Malcolm administered a lively department, having recruited outstanding young staff in a range of materials specialisms, and seeing a progressive increase in the number and quality of undergraduate students, and a doubling of research grant income.
		Under the friendly guidance of Professor "Big John" Hirth, Malcolm measured atomic mobilities in alloys and related the surface etching pits to the points of emergence of dislocations.

	The Passing of a Pioneer
		McLean, who died May 25 at the age of 87, came up with the concept called ‘containerization,’; which forever changed how freight is shipped both in the U.S. and around the world.
		Mclean’s efforts were even blocked by the U.S. Government, in the form of the now-defunct Interstate Commerce Commission, which in the 1950s regulated almost all of the American transportation industry.
		McLean was named by the International Maritime Hall of Fame as the ‘Man of the Century” for containerization.

		While we're on the subject, I highly recommend Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker piece from 2004, Something Borrowed, which explores how all so-called original creative work is also necessarily synthetic and derivative.
		The more that our technology can reveal the common DNA shared among different texts, the better we'll be able to judge what are proper and improper modes of sharing, and the more comprehensively we'll be able to visualize the flow of ideas.

		In later years McLean bought and built ships capable of carrying as many as 600 containers.

		The eighteenth-century Bengali poet and religious adept Ramprasad was an important figure in the revival of the worship of the Goddess in Bengal at a time when the previously dominant Vaisnavism was beginning to sustain a decline in popularity.
		In this book, Malcolm McLean examines the evidence for the life of Ramprasad, and finding little in the historical record, deconstructs the important early biographics, which contain material that is largely legendary in nature.
		Malcolm McLean is Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.

	Tech Tidbit -- June 4, 2001
		The importance of this technology was brought to mind last month (May 2001) with the death of Malcolm McLean at the age of 87.
		In the mid-1950s, McLean, who began as a truck driver in North Carolina and built a huge trucking company, came up with the notion of taking the body from a tractor-trailer and placing it fully-loaded on a ship, a railroad car, or even an airplane.
		Malcolm McLean, while hardly a household name, is recognized as one of the most important innovators of the past 50 years.

	Malcolm McLean, age 33, died 1873, Casterton, Victoria, Australia
		There is, we regret to say, too good reason to suspect that this conjecture is correct, but in the meantime every effort is being made to discover further traces of the missing gentleman, and there is still a faint hope that the worst suspicions may not be realized.
		Mr McLean of Ardno - We regret to have to report that there is now too much reason to dread the worst relative to the fate of Mr Malcolm McLean of the West Ardno Station, there being as yet no tidings about him.
		It is now supposed that the unfortunate gentleman after getting the directions to go to the hotel, to which we referred to last, mistook a light in the Survey Camp, on the opposite side of the river for the hotel light, and thus in the darkness walked into the river.

	The Seattle Times: Books: The box that changed the world
		Malcolm McLean, the man who began the shift from break-bulk to containerized cargo transport at sea, plays a key role in two new books.
		Central to each book is the compelling story of McLean, the tough, risk-taking trucker from Maxton, N.C., with a grammar-school education, who knew nothing about ships and had little interest in them.
		In the days before containers, cargo was stored one item at a time near the docks, removed from storage, piled in a jumble beside the ship, lifted by crane into the hold, and stored piecemeal with a forklift or by hand.

	bookideas.com: The Box That Changed the World by Arthur Donovan
		A buzzword in business today is to “think outside the box.” On 26 April 1956 shipping magnate Malcolm McLean thought outside the industry box by “thinking inside the box.” Before that date cargo was transported on ships using the “breakbulk” method.
		An impetus in the path to containerized shipping was the day Malcolm McLean had to wait a day for his truck to be unloaded at the docks in New Jersey.
		But it was McLean who had the tenacity to persevere despite challenges that arose.

	Contraception Moral Dilemma - Catholic Answers Forums
		Malcolm: I agree with the rest of your statement from your post, but could you provide some sort of documentation for your statement that I quoted above?
		I don't believe I've ever seen a Church document stating your assertion, and therefor while it might be your opinion that use of contraception is less evil in certain situations, it is not the position of the Church.
		Malcolm: Using a method of contraception after having had three children is morally very distinct from using contraception to delay children or avoid having them altogether.
