(40,852 posts)Thankfully we rotated through the stations -- the stamp presses, the lathes, and some assembly -- which kept the work from being unbearably monotonous.
Quality control was intense and safety protocols strict.

Yeah, shop was a boys-only class then.

(114,667 posts)I can teach someone how to spin--history, theory, and practice--in less than half an hour.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
