Left-Handed Shuttle

Left-Handed Shuttle

     Here is a pair (right-handed & left-handed) shuttle.  Ha,Ha....this is a little joke we play on the new recruits.  We would ask them to get a left-handed wrench.  Some of them get it, others would look for hours and ask around.  That was from another life, long ago.
