I work in Communications Technology, and part of my job is assembling equipment at customers prems.
When I was first learning this, we had a new piece of equipment that had 7 thick manuels on it’s installation and operation. Stacked, the manuels would stands about 2½ foot tall.
My coworker was having problems with a certain card. It didn’t seem to work right, in a very odd way. We scoured the manuels trying to figure out what was causing this problem. Finally, he gave up, and suggested we call Scotty.
Scotty was a legend. People said he truly had a photographic memory.
We called him, and described our problem. Immediatly, he said “check volume 4, page 189, center of the page.” We turned to it and there it was!
Why he is working for the phone company has been the topic of many discussions at work.
