[Spridgets] Cleaning out a gas tank

[Mike Myers]

Daniel,

This was a common finishing process for needle bearing rollers and races when I worked a Torrington bearings - barrels were open and loaded with metal parts and various tumble media and water to take the parts from finish ground to the final mirror polish. The media and barrel angle were changed to get different action on the metal parts.
