either way you cut it, my take on it is that they were into production, not art. their lugs and ideas seperated them fom the builder across the street, but i don't think they agonized over these things or considered it "cheating" if technology was used to improve the efficiency. e-RICHIE with faux lugs chester, ct

Do you ever get the impression that Hetchins were inconsistent
in their production techniques? Perhaps all the experts are
correct - even if they disagree. Based on the differing "eye
witness" accounts that I've read, I'm convinced that they
continually experimented with different techniques. Maybe it
depended on who was employed at the workshop during a
particular period?
