It was thirty some odd years ago, and do not remember.
We old folks try to get the new ones off to the side and talk to them. Some are tough as heck, some you go home and eat supper.
In a small town, 90% will be someone you know.
A somewhat new guy had a 19 year old guy with a 12 guage shotgun suicide, the second call was a endloader with a 12 yard bucket that drove over a young lady. He had a tough time of it, but has turned out to be the best we could ask for.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
