No problem auchencrow -
Ashtabula Bow Socket was actually a dangerous place to work - there was a fatality there that I remember during maintainence on one of the forging presses. OUCH! I see B J Baker bike shop is referenced earlier - I bought my first new bike there in 1966 - a copper color 5 speed Collegiate. I added the banana seat and butterfly handle bars later - and the nut buster 5 speed stick shift on the top tube. I could do 50 yard long wheel stands on it - spent many hours on that bike until 1969 when I got my driver's license - man I miss those days!
