[TenTec] Paragon Problem gets very odd

[Walt]

Ah, the days of YORE! Wire spring and flat spring RELAYS! In the days of 
old, in yea 1900, when men wore tool pouches and telephone computers were 
MONSTERS of relays, the BURNISHER was the first tool issued by your 
supervisor to the new employee called a SWITCHMAN! Only later on, when the 
enemy, wear and tear got out of control were you told to CUT OFF THE 
CONTACT! And WELD on a new one!

Those were the days when MEN were MEN and read trouble on PUNCHED CARDS from 
the MASTER TEST FRAME!

I WAS A SWITCHMAN ............. who slaved away in the bowels of that metal 
monster cleaning RELAYS !!
