I just had to tell you this story of dropping small
parts. I was repairing a turn signal mechanism and had to remove the small
"keeper" on the one part. It is like a Chinese hand cuff that goes on and
the little fingers won't let it come off again. (this is on a 55 Plymouth turn
signal). It is like a washer that is spring steel and has the grabbers on
it. Well these can be removed gently with a set of dikes and when it comes
off one should be over a bench with a towel under it so the parts can drop on
the towel and not roll or bounce away. We all know thins don't we.
Well I done it and didn't even have it over the bench and lo and behold it came
off and I heard 2 noises--one when it hit the floor and the other when it hit a
box under my bench. Well I looked all over and found nothing and then went
to unload the box of copper and brass that needs to be sorted that was under my
bench. It was in there and the Lord only know why these things have to go
in every direction when they come off. This is just a reminder to put a
towel or something under the parts you are taking off so you don't have to look
all over for your parts. Forgive me for my long windedness.
