Hooves Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Wheatstone, Lachenal, Jones, Nikolds... Weve heard the name sof the big Shots, the patent holders and company founders. But what about the the other workers who actaully put the inventors dreams in motion? Wheatsone and Lachenal by themselves could not produce the bulk of instruments: other workers were there grinding, cutting, tuning. Lets all pour a tall cold pint, on this Labour Day weekend, and drink a toast to the unknown sculptures who spent thier lives in factories to bring us our beloved boxes.

I'll drink to that! It may be labour day weekend to you, but this weekend is the Faversham Hop Festival, as 1st September is the traditional start of the hop picking season. A pint or two of Shepherd Neame Spitfire would seem appropriate. - John Wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
