Show OHI E&G AGuayo 3-12-85 sS:39 well, you had little odds and ends.Like we used to take care of the little trolly that ran up to the office. They had a little car that goes up on a cable. We used to have to go up and- when the cab;e would get worn - chop it off, put a new one. Then we'd have to go down to what they callthe precipitating plant, fix the fans and ventilators up at the top. Fix the littel scoops that pick up the ore. Whatever-alot of different things like that. And. Gather together - the other parts of the machine shop would do what they had - which was mostly - On the other side of the shop was to fix the locomotives. To fix all the iailroad·::equipment. The little railroad cars taht they had. Even at that time, they didnt' have too many regular trucks, cars, there wasn't that much mostly everything was at that time. Now, eerything's on rubber tires. You know. (laugh) That's what it was. And thenfrom there, I got a bid to the welding department. And there, you just - you weld the things shut. So it is- you burn them,you weld them, you fix them. L The same big shovels. GA Yeah. L But a different job. GA Well,a welder would work on anything. I mean, lke I say, when I was a helper and _as a repair ga~~ we just worked on shovels. But when you're a welder, you work on either the shovels or the locomotives or whatever. You know. Thenafter later on, when bey opened up up the big truck~~~~~~' up the Yosemite. That's proably where I spent more of the time. And then you end up there as a machinist. And then there mostly you worked on - mostly thebig trucks up |
