Making ratchet pawls
« on: October 06, 2013, 07:14:46 PM »
Pic of a happy fellow making pawls for lowell ratchets. That's a box full at the bottom. Thousands and thousands (ok, perhaps hundreds ...)

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Thats a pretty cool picture.

Thanks for sharing.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I wonder how they do it today? Manual labor, or computerized?
