One of the jobs I did was looking after the loaf slicing and wrapping machine. Bread would be loaded into the slicing machine,the onward to the wrapping machine. As the wax paper wrapped loaf left the machine, it passed along two hot plates which melted the wax on the end of the loaf, sealing it. Occasionally this did not seal properly, so the loaf was just put back on the conveyor belt between the slicer and wrapper to get another wrapping which usually did the trick. AS I went on a break, I told a new lad what to do. When I came back, I found he had been putting loaves to be rewrapped back onto the conveyor to be both resliced and wrapped. Pity the poor housewife who opened the loaf to find a mixture of breadcrumbs and shredded paper!! Wesley[/quote]
