Tackler
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
A tackler was a supervisor in a textile factory responsible for the working of a number of power looms and the weavers who operated them.[1] The title derived from the job, which was to "tackle" any mechanical problems encountered with the looms in their charge. Invariably male, they had a reputation for gullibility and were the butt of many jokes.[2]
