glad you did not post this under the heading of " light reading " .

David, light reading it ain't that is for sure.
I have used it for donkeys years, every time I have had to teach basic shipfitting to some 'green peas'. It is what Bill Modrell one of my instructors at Gompers in Seattle used for our lofting classes.
I see that Nichols Bros. just got a big Al job, some form of 'cat' for gov't. research.
Comment in Workboat was that it would keep the current work force of 350 or so busy for some time.
