Sometimes, it’s the smallest parts that decide everything.
A brass carrier that won’t fit.
A rod turned on the lathe to guide it true.
And a long day sanding castings — until metal finally agrees with metal.
This was the last evening before Belgium.
No more time to fix anything else.
Just the sound of tools, patience…
and a car that must be ready for the road.
