Was There a Dedicated Fork Lift Operator for the TSBD Warehouse?

[Bill Chapman]

   My concern would be with the Truck(s): (1) Where the Truck(s) were Specifically located, and (2) Were the Truck(s) still there when the JFK Limo passed by the TSBD? Based on the notes above, It appears the truck(s) were there During the time period the JFK Limo passed by the TSBD. If a Truck is Large enough to run a fork lift into and out of it, it is Large in general. This would mean the roof of the Truck/Trailer would be High Above the ground. Depending on the location of the Truck, this High Ground position on the roof of the Truck/Trailer would be a Prime Sniper Location.

    For whatever reason You are Ignoring the Loading of product ONTO a truck. You are also Ignoring the possible Staging of product when a Forklift Unloaded it Off of a truck, and that same product then being relocated throughout the TSBD via Hand Jack(s). And then there is your Ignoring the possible Fork Lift loading of product onto the rail cars situated on the Railroad Spur behind the TSBD. Maybe the Trump Exoneration has you on the wrong side of the bed today?

Your heroes got up on the wrong side of the Constitution. They played a kind of political monopoly, giving themselves a free don't-go-to-jail pass.

    You obviously have Never attempted to move a Loaded Pallet into or out of a truck with a Hand Jack or a "Dolly". Your "2 wheeled dolly" suggestion is Laughable.

Really?, these guys seem to be having NO problems loading/unloading these trucks with a Hand Jack.





The Depository had a loading dock which provided access for rear unloading of trucks, which means that the stock was removed with a pallet jack or by hand.



An alternative is that larger trucks with curtains could be side unloaded with a forklift but how common were these type of trucks in 1963? Also a flatbed truck could transport the freight but without a roof the stock/books would be exposed to the elements?



The stock which was in the Depository was mostly just piled up on the floor which means that the boxes were all moved by hand. Even stock near the Loading dock was just on the floor.





Besides the odd pallet, the majority of stock on the 6th floor was just on the floor.











Btw you know how we can tell that Royell is talking crap? His mouth is moving! Hahaha!

     The Hand Jacks pictured are modern day. To get a better idea of what they were working with inside the TSBD in 1963, take a look at that dolly that was photographed close to the bottle of Dr Pepper near the snipers nest. That dolly was Nothing like the above pictured Hand Jacks. Not even remotely close, right down to the wheels. Regarding the boxes pictured sitting on the floor, those boxes are SPOTTED as a full pallet is wheeled around the floor by an antiquated Dolly. The major problem in using a "63" Hand Jack would be struggling to Drag every loaded pallet Up and Over the Dock Plate which runs between the dock and the truck.

Nobody can read their scribbles, either.

LOL! No, but mom once told me that she should have let stay a lefty. Who knows. Have you tried reading the notes with a mirror?

No kidding Einstein, but you implied that it was laughable to unload a truck with a "hand jack" and you were wrong.

I already showed the lack of pallets on the upper floors, so what point are you trying to make? Btw pallet jacks have been available as far back as 1918 as seen in this issue of Popular Science.

That dolly was Nothing like the above pictured Hand Jacks.

Listening is clearly not your forte, as I have repeatedly stated and shown with photos, that the stock on the 6th floor was virtually exclusively just placed on the floor so a hand jack was not needed on the upper floors and the boxes were just moved with trolleys.

Not even remotely close, right down to the wheels.

Right down to the wheels you say, do go on?

Hand Jacks available today don't have motorized wheels, so explain why you see a problem?

     John -  In 1963: (1) the TSBD Hand Jacks were antiquated, (2) The TSBD Dock Plates were antiquated, (3) The TSBD Docks were antiquated. You obviously have no idea how a 1963 dock plate even worked. The pictures of Hand Jacks and Docks that you posted are worthless in relation to what was being used in 1963. Night vs Day equipment.
