    Thanks much for the link Charlie!!!! A really fascinating look at 30's assembly line techniques!!! Also, I've never seen so many flatheads in one picture in my life!!!!!! I'll probably have nightmares for a week!

    I had to smile as the announcer said, as they were unloading the ship the ore would end up in a car in 28 hours!

    Dang - I'm beat just watching those guys, Talk about manual labor. Moving cranks around, then installing by hand, plunking the transmission onto the engine - by hand. Eight hours a day!! I need a nap now to recover. And it's only 0717 in the AM

    Good stuff Charlie!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
