Re: 1983 - Cutting the Pearl
Also known in today's slang as a "wrap." I think I like "pearl" better.

Re: 1983 - Cutting the Pearl
It look like she's looking at the stack of bass drum shells to see if there's any more ready for her.

1983 - Cutting the Pearl
All those bass drum shells piled up outside are all rejects from when the plant was in Mexico. The pearl has to be stripped off of each one with acetone (there's another picture that shows one of the workers doing that). New shells would not have been stacked that way. Notice how the black and white ones are stacked next to the raw shells.

Re: 1983 - Cutting the Pearl
Acetone? So you didn't fire up the old heat gun like I had to do last month?
I bet the fumes were a lot of fun.

No heat gun. There's another picture posted that shows stripping the shells with some commentary. Fumes? Let's just say I don't like being around my daughter when she's taking off her nail polish.
