Thanks for the link to the pictures, SAE2922. Very fascinating.

Life was different in the past, in so many ways. "My girlfriend works in a radio factory, making capacitors." How cool would that be? These days, most jobs (men or women) seem to be in stores or shuffling papers and data. How many REAL jobs are there left in the USA?
