"I think the Tackler comment on the list is wrong.

It took brains and brawns to do that difficult job".


Thanks for that
I saw that 'overlooker' was listed seperately from 'tackler'
The trade union my dad was a member of was
The Power Loom Overlookers Society
He was vice president of Ossy branch. They met monthly at the Printers Arms and vetted all the applications for apprenticeship tacklers
