That a good piece.  Thanks for posting the URL.

They had a shotpeen tower at the Hamilton Standard aircraft plant near
Hartford, Conn. where I had a summer job circa 1960.  They shotpeened
the propeller blades, about 5' or 6' long, that I subsequently glued
deicers and rubberized fabric to.  Made a terrific racket when it was
running.  I didn't realize at the time that it was Hot Stuff.
