William Morris: And now it sort of has reached this place where you look at the equipment in those photos and, like I said, bench heights all that sort of stuff, it was so erratic in the seventies. It was crazy, some of the stuff. You know, we didn’t even know how high to put a glory hole. And the Italians just pretty much said, ‘Well you just put it at the level of your crotch.’ You know, little things like that but it made a difference. You go to some facility, you know, in North Carolina or something like that and you’d have a glory hole that was up to your chest or you’d have one that was down on the floor, it was—you know, it was crazy. Now that’s not the case. That’s what I’m saying, it’s—because this is what happened and it made a huge difference in the way we all work.
