The steamer's machine-shop, as I have said, was unusually well fitted and supplied; but even in the short time that the vessel had been lying abandoned in that reeking atmosphere rust had so coated everything not shut up in lockers that all the tools in the racks and the fittings of the lathe although the lathe had an oil-cloth hood over it had to be cleaned before they could be used: a job that kept me busy with the grind-stone, and emery-cloth, and oiled cotton-waste, for a good long while.
Howe remained in Cambridge only a few months, however, and was then given a place in the machine-shop of Ari Davis, of Boston. At the age of twenty-one he married. This was a rash step for him, as his health was very delicate, and his earnings were but nine dollars per week.
"I saw him once or twice when I was in, and thought he was a friend of yours." "He can swap a good yarn; kind of handy man and sometimes helps me with the hammer, but I guess that's all there is to it." "Just so," said Charnock carelessly. "This is a warm place for a quiet smoke, and the foreman can't tell how long one ought to stop, particularly as you're sometimes out at the machine-shop.
He's been ill so much and away so much sometimes people like that just don't seem to 'count' in a family. His father spoke of sending him back to a machine-shop or some sort; I suppose he meant when the poor thing gets better. I glanced at him just then, when Mr.
The steerage promenade-deck, iron-sided, black-floored, ending in the iron approaches to the galley at one end and the iron superstructures about a hatch at the other, was like a grim swart oilily clean machine-shop aisle, so inclosed, so over-roofed, that the side toward the sea seemed merely a long factory window.
Women wanted in machine-shop to do men's work at men's wages for the duration of the war. No experience necessary. Easier than washing, ironing, scrubbing or sewing. $21 a week and up. Apply Monday morning, 8 o'clock. As you have guessed, Mary composed that advertisement. It hadn't passed without criticism. "I don't think it's necessary to pay them as much as the men," Mac had suggested.
"Great God!" shouted Sheridan, and struck the desk a blow with his clenched fist. "A son of mine asks me that! You go out and ask the poorest day-laborer you can find! Ask him that question " "I did once," Bibbs interrupted; "when I was in the machine-shop. "Wha'd he say?" "He said, 'Oh, hell!" answered Bibbs, mildly. "Yes, I reckon he would!" Sheridan swung away from the desk.
Tell him, in brief, to use fireplaces if he has a hundred acres of wood-land to clear up; stoves, if he can live without air; grates, if he doesn't mind the trouble and the ashes; furnace, if he can set it directly under each room and can find one that won't strangle him some windy night with poison gases; and steam or hot water, if he can run a machine-shop and keep a competent engineer.
In the very centre of this busy whirl of life stood the little white two-story school-house, flanked on one side by the dwelling of a mill-owner, and on the other by a boarding-house; and just below it, across the street, a machine-shop, and a little cottage of cased logs, with minute-paned windows, and a stone chimney which was built before the Revolution by the first inhabitant of the little valley.
He was a telegraph messenger boy in New York during the Civil War, then a telegraph operator in Cleveland. In 1869 his salary was cut down from one hundred dollars a month to ninety dollars; whereupon he walked out and founded the Western Electric in a shabby little machine-shop.
