close to 20 years ago now, I knew a guy who worked on machines like that one. but I think they mainly did bottle and can systems. it was unreal to watch how they would set up the "line" and check it out before shipping. the sad part was the youngest guy working there was in his 50's and they all wanted to retire. shop closed down in 2013-4 I think.
ReplyDeletebut the "thinkers" behind it all where tired and wanted to retire. neat guys to talk to though.
they did give me a lot of machine tooling they had extras of and metal stock for my hobby shop.. as I said, neat guys
to hang around with. learned more with them in a day than I did in a year of shop class. I still have a lot of the stuff they gave me too. don't use it often, but when I do, I always think of them.
those old guys were a product of a generation that has been lost. get ten or so of those old guys together and no problem couldn't be solved, and they didn't need a computer or cell phone to do it, just some tools and some parts and they could make anything. i remember those old guys well. i miss them dearly.
Deleteit's not within the scope of this post to tell of all of the things i have seen them make out of nothing.
they all got together one day and made a truck out of parts they salvaged from the desert.
I use cream cheese like butter, why don’t they package it like butter in 1/4 lb sticks I can reward?
ReplyDeleteMy Mother wrapped butter by hand in Hills, Minn. in the 50's at the creamery her dad managed. Wrapping sticks of butter by hand all day long... shuudder... let the machines do it.
