[GreenKeys] Model 28/35 mainshaft doweling procedure

GN OMs;

[If you read my previous post about the computer company
  that I worked for - well, - here's another story]

There were nothing but men doing Field Engineering at
the time. Soon, with all the tech schools out there, women
began applying for jobs as FEs. Human Resources started to
hire them without considering that women and men are different
and what one can do, the other, in general, might not be able
to do. Other than a couple of gals I worked with, who were
excellent field engineers, they were, for the most part,
worse than useless:

o Could not lift heavy weights (linear motors for disk drives)
   so they got out of a lot of calls (I can't lift that!)
o Would not work on drum printers (gets their hands dirty).
o Refused to do standby (I can't go out at 2:00am - I'm a girl!)
o Didn't know how to trouble shoot past what the manual suggested.
o Instead of calling tech support for help, they'd call one of the
   other gal FEs and they'd wind-up yammering on the phone for an hour.

I've worked with A LOT of women in the IT world and many of them
excelled at programming and/or running the data center.

Trouble strikes in "series of threes" - but when
working around the house the next job after a
"series of three" is not the fourth job -- it's
the start of a brand new "series of three".
