SIGNALS...
A sign language, such as is used in the Casting Room,
Cellophane Division, (featured in the February issue of
the ECHO) is nothing new to the men in the Paper Di
vision Machine Room. They too have a system of signals
which they use to communicate with each other above the
roaring of the paper machines. The signals pictured here
are only a representative few of the many employed by the
men who operate the paper making machines.
With this signal Charles Tinsley, a Third
Hand, tells the machine tender that bloiv-
wrinkles have begun appearing in the paper.
After taking phone call from Refining Room pump man,
Archie Drake, Backtender, tells the Backtender on No. 3
machine that a chest change has been made on his machine.
