… …FOR EXAMPLE => It is valuable to me (Henry Gurr), to know that => "The chainguard repair, which had cost them a single dollar, was no longer in evidence. An OEM part must have replaced it after the famous trip".
… NOW, this is valuable to me (Henry Gurr). because I must set aside => My extensive quest for a photo of the weld by Alexander Henry McGregor, the Grants Pass, Oregon Welder, about which the ZMM Narrator said =>
…. “Absolutely no hurry. He picks up a steel filler rod and I wonder if he’s actually going to try to weld that thin metal. Sheet metal I don’t weld. I braze it with a brass rod. When I try to weld it I punch holes in it and then have to patch them up with huge blobs of filler rod. "Aren’t you going to braze it?" I ask …."No," he says. Talkative fellow. ….He sparks the torch, and sets a tiny little blue flame and then, it’s hard to describe, actually dances the torch and the rod in separate little rhythms over the thin sheet metal, the whole spot a uniform luminous orange-yellow, dropping the torch and filler rod down at the exact right moment and then removing them. No holes. You can hardly see the weld. "That’s beautiful," I say.
