Rocking and Rolling

AB Karlstad Mekaniska Werkstads (trans. Karlstad Mechanical Works Ltd), known as Kamewa, was a Swedish manufacturing company in the city of Kristinehamn. Kamewa started as a brand name of the controllable pitch propellers manufactured by KMW. KMW was founded in the city of Karlstad in 1860. KMW also manufactured pulp and paper machines for paper mills and hydro power turbines. Kamewa was acquired by the British company Vickers group in 1986. In 1999, Rolls-Royce plc acquired Vickers and thus currently owns the Kamewa portfolio. The Swedish part of the business is now called Rolls-Royce AB and is based in Kristinehamn

#17 Excuse my ignorance John, 'A speck of dirt in the operating piston' who if anyone was responsible and was there a way to avoid that and could it happen on a regular basis? Marian

A lot of the lads suffered from that at times, the only way to avoid it is to be very careful who you met with.

Many thanks for your comments.When this happened to me I thought it was an oddball maneuver cooked up by the captain and not a regular procedure as you describe so well.
I remember it to this day.An experience not to be forgotten.
