[R-390] Handles

[Lester Veenstra]

Reformed CTM1 (...but I couldn't possibly..)
In those days the rational for not having female M-Branchers was that they
could never lift an R-390 to rack it.  The truth was that most of use had
trouble doing it, and in the 70's when the first ones entered the
"fraternity" , some of them were better equipped than the rest of us.  So to
stay in shake I keep a basement fill of various R-3xx at home along the
TNH-11 with foot pedal.

I was a CTM2 back in '63.  If you don't  know what that means, don't ask.  
I was 65 inches tall and I weighed 150  pounds.  I could mount an R390A  in 
a rack by myself!  No easy  task unless you knew "the trick
