[Rhodes22-list] On A Completely Different Note

[Hank]

Brad,

In the army, we just wore heavy gloves and put it together and then tied the
coils up with baling wire.  Of course, we weren't doing 28 miles of it,
either.  What I remember, though, is that if we had any sections that were
badly kinked up, we would get rid of it and get new stuff as that was no
longer serviceable.
