Those hooks look like bigger versions of the ones Ice Men used to deliver their product before electricity took away that industry. I sure would like to have one of those hats they're wearing. Wonder if they were mandated uniform wear, or just the fashion of the day? Nice to see people doing real work, instead of robots.

I get a kick out of the movies where they show raw blocks headed to machining. They could just as easily be hog carcasses, handled very coarsely, lifted by a single hook stuck in the valve galley.
