This is how we stamped out the new replacement pieces
for the pilot. Don brought in his (?) ton press and made a couple castings
to press the sheet metal with. Luke helps guide the strip through while
Mhat provides the muscle to operate the press. Guy looks on. |

I did a little sandblasting that day. Besides doing the
Gyra-Lites for the 4423, I also blasted one of the cab ladders and radiator
fan grills. |
