Back in ancient times Yawman & Erbe the manufacturers of office furniture had a factory in Rochester covering a large block in the city. By the 60s they were more heavily into steel furniture and getting away from oak.
Many of National's cars were in need of replacement floor covering, and George having connections all over town got hands on several Linoleum tops for large conference tables that pretty well covered the deck with battleship linoleum 5/16" thick. You could pretty much beat that linoleum with a clawhammer without hurting it.
Bending it to get the sheet through the back door was a lot of fun, and cutting required minimally a Sawzall. The mechanic refused to even try, and nobody else in the company admitted having any idea how to lay Linoleum.
Since Y&E was a huge park like campus, and because George was adding 5 bucks more every week for anybody who could install a floor one of National's cars took up a shaded parking spot at Y&E as an enterprising crew learned to fit Linoleum. Cardboard templates were made and somebody got hands on a sawzall.
$55 a floor for a fairly easy job wasn't hard to take. The only problem was George forgot to buy glue.
When the dust settled everybody learned smooth gray battleship Linoleum is slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Yawman closed up and auctioned a few years later, and the brilliant Junior went to the sale to stock up on future ambulance floors. He was quite proud of his deal. Everybody learned Junior had no concept of distance measuring.
He bought a couple skids full of small office table tops.
