Did anyone catch the guy lighting his unfiltered cig off the hot crankshaft blank, as it passed by? Ahhh... the good ole days, when men were men, and women actually liked it. Safety... we don't need no stinking safety... we just came back from 4 years in a shooting war... we need jobs...

Re: [MBZ] Drop forged crankshaft (video)
That’s what the foundry floor at Kohler (plumbing) looked like in the 1980s. Even though the guys were supposed to be wearing all sorts of protective gear they would leaving it laying around. These were all WWII vets who were much like the guys that were in that video. A real man didn’t have to wear all that pussy stuff. A real man breathed in all that foundry sand (and died early from silicosis, too.) Every employee in the company had to get a lung volume test upon employment. Anyone who worked in or around the foundry got tested every three months after that. It was funny as heck. You stood there with this mouthpiece connected to what looked like a vacuum cleaner hose and a pair of clips to hold your nose closed. You had to take the biggest breath you cold, then exhale as forcefully as possible with this mouthpiece in your mouth. Sounds simple, but think about having to blow as hard as you can with your mouth wide open. I kept cracking up because the nurse that did my test, an older, somewhat corpulent gal, was standing there yelling, “BLOW, BLOW, BLOW!” It made me laugh. It pissed her off. -D > On Apr 11, 2020, at 3:05 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > No gloves, no helmets, no safety gear at all. OSHA would crap their pants > these days.
