8. We Discover some Cleaning Solvent, 1951 - Page 1
We Take a Trip for Gasolene On our radio Relay station we had a number of generators running 24/7. At some stations we had four 2500-watt generators running. These one-cylinder units can run only two hours and then had to be switched to new warmed up units and the old ones shut down. Then we must check the oil, add gas and get it ready for its next shift and so on. Every day I was in Korea that was our life. So we needed to take the 2 1/2 ton truck to get new supplies of gas from time to time. We got it in 55-gallon drums and after we got back to our station put it into five-gallon cans for transport to the top of the hill unless we were lucky to have a road to the top.
