I worked on an Iron Chink near Naknek AK in 1973. A beautiful piece of ingenious machinery, American made of course, with patent dates IIRC in the late 1800's. The cannery maintenance
foreman said something like, "What we need now is for someone to invent an Iron Filipino, and my life would become simpler".

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
