Otis Hargrove
Window millwright
Opened the cage in 2008 after a decade stamping millwright tags at a paper mill north of town. Stops sessions that want nicknames before humidity is named.
Who holds the punch
Three clerks. One peg rail. Zero hallway votes.
The wicket rewards people who can refuse a bolt that was cut for a different flange.
Mae Vines
Climate clerk
Keeps Black Warrior air honest. Alberta resident. Unsentimental about tour-bag letters. Rings the shift bell when a disc is ready.
Cal Pettway
Latch punch
Watches face versus path and will not average a late face as a kindness. Writes OPEN or SHUT in grease pencil that survives a sweaty palm.
