Lee -- The only thing I can think of is that possibly around that time frame most of the Bell Lab/Western Electric tech reps turned everything over to us with only a few resident reps remaining?? One thing I thought about though, when you showed up, were we still required to wash the soles of our shoes before entering the watch floor?
Another great statement I heard in the early days was the reps stated they made the equipment "sailor proof" and we couldn't screw things up. Ha
