Now And On Earth
“There is still a great deal that confuses me, but I am getting a vague idea of what it's all about. I should have sooner, but for my timidity.On the day I took over Gross's job, Moon remembered his promise to show me around. We went down to the Drop-hammer Department, first, and watched the manifolds and other castings being pounded out. They are as large as a small room, some of these hammers, and when they are dropped the concrete floor shakes for hundreds of feet around. The men are the husk...iest I've seen, and you can see just about all of them because they're practically naked. Their bodies, and particularly their arms, are covered with scars from the splattering metal and from cleaning out the hot pots.I didn't think that was as it should be. There are very few things with which I can't find something wrong. I suggested to Moon that it would be better if they bundled themselves against the heat and other hazards of their work as cooks do.He replied, "These men have been working this way a long time and they probably know what's best."We only looked through the door of the Plannishing Department, and that was enough to give me a headache for the rest of the morning.MoreLess
