    Worked in a plant near Spartanburg, South Carolina, back in 1972, making surgical gloves pretty much the same way as this. We used larger racks of the ceramic hands, though, which were dipped first in latex, then run through an oven and baked on. After the oven, they were dipped in water containing talc. The racks were set on carts that ran along diminutive tracks resembling railroad tracks. You’d lift the rack off the cart with a hoist that would swing it over and dip it into the respective vats. Hot work with few breaks. And mindless, I guess, apart from safety awareness. I think latex surgical gloves are still in use today, so I wonder if the production has changed.

    Congratulations on making Explore - this portrait is a beautiful and well-deserved win. Your lighting and soft focus give the subject a luminous, timeless presence, and the gentle smile and direct gaze draw the viewer in instantly. The composition and tonal control show a real mastery of mood and subtlety - you've captured warmth and personality in a way that stays with me. Well done!

    I have a painting by Rev Bowen P Squire. I can’t find much about him. My Great Grandfather was a sort of archaeologist, I wonder if they were friends and the painting was a gift?

    Niall McAuley The premises extend to Marlborough St, which also has an entrance, blue door
    Look for the ‘DUTC’ name at top of this building
    A streetview would be good, doesn’t work on my device unfortunately
    The canteen is used by bus and rail crew, Earl Place entrance, all welcome, good place for a cheap lunch
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Suck Diesel Here is the Marlborough St. Streetview, with DUTC visible high up

    When I was in school our big day out was a trip to Dublin to visit the Zoo, the airport and other places of interest. Our "dinner" was served in the CIE Club where we mixed with other school groups from all over. Never thought I'd end up working nearby for years.
