Coal burners as well. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the newly assigned black gang walked into the fire rooms for the first time.

It was not easy to convince Allnutt. All his shop training had given him a profound prejudice against inexact work, experimental work, hit-or-miss work.

I shared that fascinating video with my Friend who was born just post-war in that Great Lakes Navy training facility.
He'd never heard of those remarkable training flat tops!
