I didn't work there, but I did visit a friend once who did. Not sure what year, but I do recall seeing a wave-solder machine placed directly beneath a large glob (several cubic feet in volume) of lanolin which had accreted from processing on the floor above, and was hanging from the ceiling. Recall that the building had produced blankets for the Civil War. I wish I'd had a camera with me. I was in the neighborhood a few months ago and decided to drive by. The building is still standing and looks very nice. It's partly rented out to a few businesses including a brewery. But I think most of it is empty. Now I have a few pictures, but no good way to show them to you.
