Red face Machinist's handbooks

Austin- I may have some extra data from an early 1920's book, when I sent you the article on the GHE "project gun' and the patent papers on mr. Fischer's ejector system (for converting extractor Parkers to ejector guns)- Back then they portrayed the machinists as wearing clean aprons and neckties (tucked under the bib of the shop apron)-- no tool room foreman who had to wear a tie during my "time on the floor" would wear anything but a break-away clip on tie--you'll know why.

A good neighbor and friend, who did all the financials for our area Habitat for Humanity for years, worked for GE out there in Upstate NY- 1960-1975 era- then was promoted to the GE magnetics plant in Edmore, MI-Don had many great stories about GE and the 'home team"-- I take you are also an "alumni" of "We bring Good Things To Life"??
