Jim Curley said...: Oh yes. The funny thing is that this book has several pictures of men in ties working at the lathe (and at the band saw and table saw for that matter.) I couldn't believe it. (There is no chapter on shop safety-but this was probably before lawsuits existed in their present form.); 10:37 AM

TS said...: His head is large compared to his body.; 2:02 PM
Nancy Reyes said...: He's wearing a tie that could choke him if it got caught in the machinery, of course...; 8:05 PM
