[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1025706, member: 16651"] Justaname; If you had the charts memorized, maybe. But that's a big "if"......and as "CAFAL" implied, the charts (usually of the handwritten variety) tended to be woefully out-of-date and next to useless if you were new to the loads. Not only that, they often had only a vague indication of what series of addresses went on what shelf, with no sequential numbering order to them of any kind, nor a guide encompassing all the possible addresses either, for that matter. It was a "skilled" occupation then, in that it was almost totally memory and learned experience, with little in the way of paper to guide you. I'd suggest that those who say it was "easier" - at least to start - are joshing, or are forgetting about the steep learning curve it took to get up to speed back then. [/QUOTE]
