At one place, we had little tubs of trichloroethane and prelete (flux remover) on every desktop. We'd splash it around, willy nilly, as needed.

Not my thing!!! I had the distinct pleasure of working with both my daughters at the company that employed me. One worked in the precision photomask facility. One day she brought me the Thin film metal masks of the first closeup photographs that the lander took on the surface of Mars. Two masks that when overlaid, showed a true color picture of the ground from 10 feet away.  I got to see them before NASA did. they were done in Metallic thin film on glass to preserve them for posterity. The other did wire bonding for the Ground Launched Cruise Missile. I occasionally worked with her when I was assigned to problem solving.  Then I was hired to consult at another company, and again, I worked with my Son, that was the Engineer assigned to me for the Molecular Beam Epitaxy hardware development. I had the rare pleasure of working in technology with my kids as peers. I couldn't have been more proud of my family.

That's pretty damned awesome - all around!  Sounds like you raised some amazing kids!  Well done. -Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubdriver Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I miss having access to the vapor degreaser we had there (back before saying freon would get you sent to the gulag) - that thing was sweet for cleaning stuff.  Also wish I'd pilfered a gallon or ten of trichlor- used to go through buckets of it decreasing vacuum system innards. -Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) It's kind of circular. Who wouldn't be afraid of the word "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?" The word creates the very condition it names! Edited February 10, 2020 by Paul53 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
