A heavy-duty stapling machine, for example, makes fast work of fastening the waterproof finish sheeting in place. Later a decorative strip will cover the staple heads and the sheeting will be trimmed off flush with the lower edge of the stip

Fort Benning. Tommy gunners, armored forces. The tank soldier finds many chores for the Thompson sub-machine gun, familiarly known as the Tommy gun
