*Mrs. OSWALD. He was grinding details--detailed parts for small parts,
small metallic parts for radio receivers, on a lathe.
Perhaps he was boasting about the importance of his work when he told
you about reading the blueprints and translating them into the finished
product. He may have actually done that kind of work, but I know
nothing about that.
Mr. RANKIN. Was the only work that he told you he was doing during the
period that you were there in Minsk, this job of grinding these parts
on the lathe?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. While he and I lived together--yes. That was the kind of
work that he was doing in Minsk.
