Examples
-
From the start I had pestered the boss to be allowed on a power press, for two reasons: one just because I wanted to — the same reason why a small boy wants to work at machinery; secondly, I wanted to be able to pose at the next job as an experienced power-press worker and sooner or later get a high-power machine.
