Dad was circa 1916. Served from 1939 to 1963 in the USAAF and USAF retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant. He understood Rube very well. Dad had an inventive mind and used it profitably with a couple of patents for machinist tools. One that most of you that tap threads in metal would be familiar with, is the piloted tap wrench originally marketed by the Walton Tool Co. I have his prototypes and use them almost every time I fire up my lathe. Yep, I understand. Woody
