A Grand Anvil Chorus:
The assembly line reached its grand climax during tracklaying. Eight iron men pulled rail from the iron truck and dropped it into the ties. Spikers and screwers fastened the iron truck and dropped it onto the ties. Spikers and screwers fastened the iron into place -- 3 blows to each spike, 24 spikes to the rail, 400 rails, 4,000 spikes, and 12,000 blows to the mile... "a grand anvil chorus..." |
