Passing the torch.
The time has come to pass the torch so to speak. I have taught my grandson the methods of babbitt pouring of model T main bearings and the procedure of boring and align reaming the bearings. I have been doing babbitt work for 40 years, but the time has come to share the knowledge with a younger person.

Re: Passing the torch.
Glad you had a willing grandson to pass the knowledge on to. Many men in the trade aren't so lucky.

Re: Passing the torch.
Hi Jack,
That is awesome! Always nice to hear one of the younger generation is interested.
There are times when I wish i would have had kids so I could pass down stuff too as my Dad did to me (he was a mechanic at a GMC dealership all the years I was growing up), but it was not in the cards.
God Bless & Happy New Year
