One man fits the parts together, so that the bolt holes come right (line up). The next man fits the bolt holes into place. The next has a pan of nuts before him and all day he scoops them up and with his fingers starts them on the thread of the bolts. The next man has a wrench, and he gives the final twist that makes them tight." - John A. Fitch, 1914
