or the shipbuilding industry..ditto e.g. One man to heat the rivet, one to carry it to the riveter(s) and two to put it in the hole and swage the head. |

Speaking of oil in lamp DtheP, 1986 was a bit too late, The rot started more n 30 yrs before that wi the cotton industry, old looms etc, replaced by new in India n eastern places, also No health n safety, pay much less, fer obvious reasons, If re-investment had occured in the U.K. the decline of industry would have been much slower.
