Charles Darwin defended Frank Lloyd Wright when federal prosecutors hounded the architect for violating the Mann Act, which made it a crime to transport women across state lines for "immoral purposes."
My dad was a mechanic. He said that a crooked mechanic could use a lead based pencil to simply draw a line on something (can't remember what it was) and it would rot it out and subsequently require replacement of that part.
Even the lead pencils aren't lead, they're graphite. Lead is a no-no (except in certain city housing programs).
Gee, I wonder what your dad was talking about, kk. If it's a moving part, lead or graphite would lubricate it. Graphite is a good dry lubricant for locks.
True, orbs, I should not have said lead... it is graphite. Could it have been the radiator, causing it to leak? I really don't remember. The lesson I took from him was to find a mechanic that you can trust.
