LS6 Block Stamps?

[Keith Tedford]

Looking at the backwards numbers and letters, the guys often got the "6" and"9" installed in the stamp upside down as well. Somewhere along the line, everything that could be done wrong was done wrong. About the only thing consistent would be that the numbers and letters would be in a straight line.
At 50-60 an hour the job was/is monotonous. Life on the line becomes such a routine that you tend to run on remote control, doing things automatically. When I go out to the line, you wouldn't believe how it can throw the guys off their routine. They start thinking about what they are doing and get completely off their stride by times. The money is the only thing that keeps them on the job. It is pretty mindless work after a while.
