Yeah. Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get
my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes
touching around with a steth probe is about it.
Even then I check my sleeves first.

I haven't seen a sleeve do it, but I did see a rag get snatched out of
a guys hand on a high speed lathe, come back around and debrided the
back of his hand.

The guys who worked on check sorters used to say "if you get your tie
caught in there they will have a hard time getting your socks out"

Even the laser printers that were slow by comparison still moved paper
at 32 inches a second.
The check sorters were more like 250 inches a second.


At a bulk mail center in New Jersey, the managers decided a sorting
machine was not running fast enough, so they removed some safety devices.
A worker was drawn into the machine and crushed.

At another bulk center, management was proudly demonstrating new safety
devices on driverless robot carts. The carts had sensitive bumpers that
would "stop the cart immediately" upon impact, and, if that failed, there
was an overhead safety rope that if yanked, would stop the cart.

Yup. The manager demonstrating the robocart to the media got in front of
it and let it hit him. It did not stop. It knocked him to the concrete
floor and then ran over him. Lying there on the floor, he couldn't reach
the overhead cable.



Sounds like the union people were too stupid to ask for the safety
interlocks to work.

Sounds like management was eager to be the first to test the
equipment. Thank goodness a union worker didhn't have to be injured
checking management's bad investment.

The NCR check sorters were even faster. Everyone who worked on them wore
clip on ties. The IBM sorters read the checks better, but the sorting was
slower. At BofA San Francisco, they had maybe 9 IBM sorters to read into
the computer and the sorts were all done off line on I think 5 sorters.
Yes, those 3800 laser printers were inpressive. Worked on the channel
interface for a Siemens ND2 laser printer. 30" a second printing. Brings
back some good memories.

Don't you just love it when something like that happens to a kiss-ass
mid-manager.



Especially when the local TV stations are there to witness and videotape
it and show it on the evening news. I don't know if postal management is
as despotic these days as it used to be, but, literally, tens of
thousands of grievances used to be filed each year against the mid and
lower upper managers for contract violations, safety violations, and
waqe-hour violations.


More WAFA bull****.
