Macro Mondays: Inside Electronics
When I was a young girl, between college and marriage I worked for a few months at the Sylvania Television plant. My first job was to put rivets in an electronics board and it wasn't a very hard job. But the machine broke and while waiting for parts I was moved to a different section. The electronic boards moved continuously by me on a conveyor belt and I had to drop 11 little staple like things into tiny holes. To be able to do it and keep up with the conveyor I had to use both left and right hands. These were incredible small components. Right after going past me they went into the soldering pit so all the components had to be in correctly. I needed help the whole time I was on that job! I expect all that is done automatically now. The pay was fantastic but I could never have done that as a career!!
