My step mom was a welder building Liberty Shipst during WW2. She was best welder in the shipyard for welding overhead. This made her a valuable commodity when something went sideways, such as a change in the blueprints made something not fit, so the skunkworks crew had to do creative blacksmithing to fix it on graveyard shift and make it right before the looky loos got there in the morning.

With stick rod she could weld as good or better a bead straight over her face as any man in the yard could weld on the level. She was legend in the yard and for years after when people reminisced. How she could get proper penetration and the bead looked like normal right-side-up welding and with no drips .... ???
