Willie you're putting in some serious overtime! How on earth do you keep up?

Knowing Goodyear, they probably were still using equipment from 1929. I used to work summers in one of their plants, and we had presses that had been rescued from the scrap heap in Akron, in the late 1940s. Hard to tell how old it actually was. One hyrdolic ram would always leak, no matter how many times they replaced the gaskets. It would stay down while the other 5 (or was it 7?, its been over 30 years) would raise the press, then when they stopped moving the pressure would come up enough to raise the leaking one. I often wondered what the non uniformity of pressure accross the press was doing to the product.
