Appreciation post: That crane hand signal guide from 1992 at the old Burns yard

I was digging through the old training room at the Burns yard last week and found this laminated hand signal guide from 1992. The signals are way clearer than the ones in the new OSHA booklet we got this year, especially the stop signal. Why do they keep changing basic stuff like that? Has anyone else noticed the new stop signal gets confused with the emergency stop all the time?

Wait, 1992? That's the year I started at the Burns yard, how the hell did that thing survive?

Man, you musta had some good luck charms working overtime because that yard chewed through machines like candy. Some of those early 90s units were basically held together with duct tape and prayer.
