PLATE 04-BG Lost River air / limestone dew / 270 crib (270) 555-0167
Face Gate Bowling Green, KY

Emboss the plate. Path can wait in the hall.

Who holds the punch

Three hands. One crib. Zero hallway votes.

The lockers reward people who can refuse a blank stamped for a different flange.

Harlan Voss

Crib millwright

Opened the lockers in 2004 after a decade punching millwright plates at a shop off Louisville Road. Stops sessions that want path stories before the face is named.

Junie Crabb

Limestone clerk

Keeps cave-country dew honest. Reservoir Hill resident. Unsentimental about plant-shift numbers. Rings the punch clock when a plate is ready.

Ellis Poynter

Plate punch

Watches the face and will not average a shut plate as a kindness. Writes OPEN or SHUT in a stamp that survives a sweaty palm.
