And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I lied about my age in high school and when I was sixteen I applied for a job at Fullerton Metal Company in Northbrook Illinois for a summer job and I became a slitter operator. I think I was making $3.50/ hour.
I ran a saw in a machine shop cutting aluminum blanks prior to machining. So boring I quit after 6 weeks. Plus it was a cheap outfit.
ReplyDeleteIs that a Precision Strip Machine?
ReplyDeleteI think the term used in the trade is "slitting".
ReplyDeleteIt's called a "Sliter". I use to pick up the finished product banded at the end of the line up in my overhead crane. Fun times.
