One development I don't like is the "environmentally friendly" solvent that machine shops are being forced to use in their parts-washing tanks in place of good old Stoddard Solvent. This citrus-smelling, soapy-feeling stuff is harder on your bare hands than the old stuff ever was, but it doesn't clean cruddy parts worth a d@mn . . . unless you buy a tank-heater.

Steam-cleaners are also being forced out of shops.
