Now this is the old Navy ! It is good, and for 1915 nitrate film, the image quality is GREAT.

"Fid" is a great crossword word.

My dad had a palm he had used as a deck seaman in the early 1950s. Also a small bundle of canvas needles. The palm was sweat-stained and beat up, the metal impact area full of tiny craters. It always made me wonder as a boy about my dad's life before he knew I was in his future.

No, not the BB-sized ones. These were smaller, the size of the needles. I will say the palm was an example of a device that had no need of evolutionary design. It was perfect as it was. Probably unchanged for centuries.

His had BB-sized scoops; hemispheres taken out. (Semi-spheres?) I don't remember a grid. But evenly spaced.
