I thought that there was a railroad meaning like that, but I was not confident enough to say. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/21/21 13:25 by ts1457. Date: 10/21/21 14:25 Re: OK, So what does a "Cooperage" do? Author: mrbill11 Merriam-Webster says it is recoup. TAW has the meaning correct, but the proper spelling would not apply to cooperages. TAW also has a lifetime of RR experience that I lack so that may well have been how it used in the workplace. Just don't use recoop spelling in your masters thesis.

I would expect firms whose names refer to cooperage could well have branched out into other forms of crates and packaging -- just as Teamsters no longer routinely drive teams of horses.

Sadly > no longer rail served. chris uk Whiskey is aged in new oak barrels, that's what give it a full bodied flavor. The picture shows barrels that have been used once for whiskey, and now are to be used for aging scotch - that's what makes scotch a lighter flavored and lighter colored beverage.. -LD Date: 10/22/21 14:59 Re: OK, So what does a "Cooperage" do?

I worked for a cooperage manufacturer for 35 years, no naturally I had to build a model of one. -LD |
