I worked in a printed circuit factory at one time, as a silk-screen printer. At times I'd do other jobs, like cutting the blanks, using the presses, drilling boards, flow-soldering. My work bench was right next to an open cyanide tank used for gold plating edge connectors. A hideous woman with green teeth did the electro-plating. If it was her turn to make the tea, I politely declined a cup.

The boss upstairs was an EE. He designed and fabricated a lot of kit for the UK Post Office. It got known I could draw a bit (I'd studied as an architect) so I got to do many crêpe tape and stick-on pad layouts for the boss, who had yellow teeth - a slight improvement on the lady downstairs.
