Appears to be tape rather than a bandage, might just be to prevent cutting on the edge of the metal sheets as they push with their thumb

This is definitely possible, though when I was younger, I worked in transformer assembly and lots of people just used tape instead of bandages for minor cuts or punctures from wire strands. We had big numbers to hit and we had a bunch of different tapes at arms reach constantly, whereas real bandages were all the way over in the kitchen.

Now with less breakage.

Weird, the ones we use here have a chute leading down to a row of spinning blades, and the your entire stack of slices slides out the bottom. Faster, possibly neater slices, but I don't think you can adjust the spacing.

e: Ah, it's actually a row of band saws. Something like this, just with more safety features (like a lockout lid over the chute) and without the manual feed lever:

It could be either, but I'm leaning towards your interpretation rather than bandaid. Stuff like that is common. One of my favorite industrial products is literally tape you wrap around your fingers to protect them.

I've used cases of this stuff.


It's really loving useful for preventing blisters or cuts. Ya know how sometimes it's really, really useful to cut towards your thumb with a knife or xacto, but you know you shouldn't because you could cut yourself? This is PPE against that. You can fold over a few strips to build up a thick pad of tape, then use a thin layer of tape to hold that thick pad to your thumb.

Leather guards also work for many of the same PPE jobs, and I've used them at several factories, but I much prefer the green tape. You can wrap it as thick or thin as you need it, anywhere you need it, and it won't slip around or get all sweaty like the leather and worn-out-elastic guards dozens of other people have stewed in.

We had big numbers to hit and we had a bunch of different tapes at arms reach constantly, whereas real bandages were all the way over in the kitchen.

TL;DR: medical supplies do not belong entirely in cabinets. Everything below is me just brazenly taking poo poo I need, putting my name on it (sometimes in paint marker), and telling people to collect their own stuff if they want to come in to work every day with a consistent set of tools, pens, etc.

At my first factory job we did "magnetics" like transformers and inductors and I basically just made up my own rules for what was allowed. Always had a bandaid in reach if I needed one because I raided supplies from the back rooms, medicine cabinets, etc and kept a responsible stash of one or two that I'd replace next break time. Found a little plastic box from one of our supplied components in the trash and stocked it with things like the green tape and leather thumb guards, a tweezer my co-workers hadn't completely hosed, pens that didn't suck, ibuprofen, band aids, a bandoleer of x-acto blades taped to the inner lid later replaced by 100 count boxes when I started needing several blades a shift, etc.

That might come across as a dick move, I mean I was hoarding a lot of the good poo poo, but I was also taking care not to ruin the tools. I wasn't depriving anybody of supplies they needed, it was all free to grab I just knew where stuff was at! Anyways, it caught on* and everybody that cared for tools made their own box out of those trashed plastic boxes and people that didn't give a gently caress just grabbed whatever tool was nearby. Bosses didn't care, except for the one time I wrote some goofy lyrics on the cover and people got weirded out. Bosses were happy I knew where everything was stocked and people could just ask me to go grab them supplies instead of having them track down a manager to go get them a new xacto blade or some pointless bullshit.

*: When the 2001 tech layoff happened and the my factory closed completely, quite a few people had already stashed their box near the walk out the door. We knew it was coming. 1 or 2 people showed up in pajamas to the closure announcement. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen that Monday.

Its wind turbine blade testing, just chuck it into google and you'll get a bunch of hits.

Of note there is two types, the one shown here is a fatigue or cycle life test. The other type is a maximum deflection test where they bend it at the end till failure and observe how much this differs from the fea and theoretical results. We had to design bolting tools for the second test and the loads required are insane to actually snap a blade like that.

Yeah they're very very similar, to the point I suspect theyre essentially the same. The wing tests will have more documentation and certification involved because of requirements from the faa and the like. Really cool stuff either way.
