We added safety guards to the new presses and also received contracts to retrofit older machinery. Sometime the guards created more potential pinch points than before but the OSHA inspectors were happy. I can't find a video but one safety feature that was introduced for punch presses was what was called a 'possum harness'. It was a system of gloves or wrist straps and cables tied in with the machine so your hands would be forcibly removed from the die area. The operators hated them. After getting your hands snatched back a couple of times you got with the flow. The problem was they were cumbersome and most importantly they slowed down the operations like in some of the scenes where they were making bells. Piece work incentives were popular and when you're getting paid by the widget you don't want anything slowing you down. I guess you would call it a meme of the day was a punch press operator ordering four beers -- holding up his two remaining fingers. It wasn't a press but my uncle was short one and a half fingers. Many people didn't have a full set after they retired from a lifetime in the mills. In that era being overly concerned with safety was equated with being wimp.
