  I saw a documentary about that which was a total hoot. From some stiff necked old coot talking about “At Hamilton Standard we made propellers and transmission gearboxes for military and commercial applications. They made brassieres.” To this sharp old girl talking about “I was making baby pants and they asked me if I wanted to try something different. They put me in charge of quality control, and I issued each girl color coded pins. I was examining one suit, and I found a red pin, so I looked up who was issued the red pins and I went over to her and said “Here’s your pin” and I stuck her in the behind with it.”

  I like to think those two are married.

    That’s a great story.

    Of curse, today the supervisor would be arrested and put on a terrorist watch list.

  Spacesuits are cool too I guess.

  Two cups in the front, two loops in the back. How do they do it?
