Shifter Load Tactical - Object-Heavy, Horizontal-to Vertical 17-T may have avoided her question. Has it ever thawed out in that place? Is Waynesville still there? Do they still burn coal? Great place to avoid.

Location: Fort Leonard Wood Army Base. Auditorium of huge reception and processing building for new recruits. Room is crowded with troops waiting for ... something. Set-up: Enter the piano tech (me) walking onto the stage with folded tilter. Open curtain to reveal Hamilton piano with missing front caster and cracked up bass bridge. Begin assembling tilter. Notice that all conversation has stopped and everyone is looking at me. Action: Never able to resist an audience, I address the troops: "This piece of equipment," I announce, "is the T-17 Vertical-to-Horizontal Heavy-Object Tactical Load Shifter." A young lady raises her hand: "What does it do, Sir?" she asks. "Allow me to demonstrate." says I. Using grand mutes to block the rear casters, I quickly roll the tilter into position, grab the top of the piano, and deftly lay it down. The crowd roars: A standing O. Huzzah, huzzah.
