Chapter 14 Calling to Account Paul Standish 14.1 The playwright Harold Pinter had some fun with the way people speak. Here, in 1958, is Mr. Fibbs, the factory manager, and Mr. Wills, the shop steward—the former anticipating that the men are about to down tools in demand for more pay or better conditions, the latter about to surprise him. Fibbs sits resolutely at his desk. There is a knock on the door, and Wills enters. Surely the workers must appreciate the new amenities that have been provided. So what is it this time? Wills at first faintly is apologetic. The men are very grateful for the amenities. They just don’t like the products. But they are beautiful products, Fibbs remonstrates. He has been in the business a life-time and has never seen such beautiful products. What exactly don’t they like? Wills becomes more insistent. There is the brass pet cock, for instance. They don’t like the look of the brass pet cock? (Fibbs is flabbergasted.) Then there’s the hemi unibal spherical rod end. (Where could you find a finer hemi unibal spherical rod end?) The workers have gone very vicious about the high-speed taper shank spiral flute reamers ...(Fibbs is shattered) ...the gunmetal side outlet relief with handwheel, the nippled connector and the nippled adaptor and the vertical mechanical comparator. (No!) They tremble when they even speak about the jaw for Jacob’s chuck for use on portable drill. And as for male elbow adaptors, tubing nuts, grub screws, internal fan washers, dog points, half-dog points, white metal bushes—they’ve taken against the whole lot. They hate and despise Fibbs’ cherished parallel male stud couplings. (Surely not my lovely parallel male stud couplings.) And they have gone right off straight flange pump connectors, and back nuts, and front nuts, and the bronzedraw off cock with handwheel and the bronzedraw off cock without handwheel! With or without ... So, asks Fibbs, finally broken: What do they want to make instead? And Wills replies: brandy balls. P. Standish (B) Institute of Education, London, UK P. Smeyers, M.
