[QUOTE="Mark Jackson, post: 31845, member: 153"] I didn't read all five pages of posts, but many years ago, we went through a whole slew of rocking bridges. Cooincidentally it happened about the same time we hired a new metal finisher. I thought maybe he was just extra observant and catching things our other technicians had been missing. Then our other technicians started seeing it too. Again, I thought maybe this guy had raised the bar and now the other ones were paying more attention all of the sudden, after all, nothing else changed. Then one day I saw him in the casting room, and he was tossing hot rings into a quench bucket. Then a little later I heard this loud pinging sound coming from the casting toom, and caught him holding the buttons with plaster nips and banging on the bottoms to knock the investment off them. I put a stop to both practices and everything went back to normal. FWIW [/QUOTE]
