Millwrights
"'^§}i?^wrights is maintain-
the 24 hours and
these millwrights answer calls from
any part of the mill where there is
some mechanical trouble. It’s their
duty to service the mill equipment,
to do whatever is necessary to keep
the equipment operating. While
many of their calls are for emer
gency repairs because some piece of
equipment has unexpectedly failed,
it is their duty to make permanent
repairs wherever possible and if
permanent repairs cannot be made
on the job, to make temporary re
pairs to keep the machinery in
operation until such time that the
particular machine or piece of
equipment can be brought into the
shop where a permanent repair or
reconditioning job can be made.
To maintain this 24 hour daily
schedule, the millwrights work on
four shifts with six men and a fore
man to each shift. They are as fol
lows: L. E. Bagwell, foreman, Alvin
Hubbard, H. J. Runnion, T. L. Con
ley, E. W. James, R. Marcum, and
