Kinley in Romania; 1931


''Above is some remarkable 8MM film shot of the Romanian job in 1931. There is some footage in this film of Kinley rolling drums of  glycerin jelly  down into the bottom of the crater to shoot ground fires out and help expose the parted casing. There is a scene  of him and his helper hand digging to find the parted casing and another scene actually cementing the casing tie-back in place before the crater was back filled. It's probably noteworthy to observe Kinley rolling these damn drums of  glycerin down the crater wall where he would place them where he wanted them, by hand, then load the blasting cap and detonator  wire to the drum before hauling ass out of the crater and setting them off  electrically.''
