Re: Hair splitting for AnthonyG?
'Angle iron' is like 'cinder blocks'. Just terms left over from an earlier age by old guys that won't change. In the 70's I worked in Southwest Harbor Maine, and the guys called the brick thing sticking out of the roof a 'chimbley' and the gas pedal was always an 'exhilerator'. Oh and a pair of channelocks was a pair of 'waterpump pliers'. I still miss those guys.
