Yep - back in the '70s, I was a machinist running numerical control machines. Programmers would produce tapes with instructions to the machines so once they got started they would run through the process "automatically".

One of the programmers had a last name of Craddock and we called him "Crash Craddock" because he had a propensity for running tol blocks into the pieces/chucks. When we got a new tape from him, we manually slowed things down and kept or hand on the emergency stop button for the first run through....
