It would be great if they have the lost reels of film taken from Utah beach during D-Day .

Many years ago when I first started work in the metalworking industry, more than half of my co-workers were female, employed as "operators". This was because there were still many manual and repetitive operations and processes requiring an operator to manually carry-out such as to operate a fly press, to punch a single hole, for example. These manual process could last for an extended length of time such as a couple of weeks or longer. In my experience, ladies, generally, tend to be much better at repetitive type work than men and can stay focused on the job in hand better than men, generally. Ladies also tend to be better than men at small and delicate type work because, generally they have smaller hands than men. Quite a few of the female operators smoked which was allowed back then and some of the ladies were also chain smokers. If you had to do a job next to one of these chain smokers it wasn't exactly pleasant if the smoke was blowing in your direction but you couldn't really do anything about it.
