Actually, back at the turn of the previous century, machinists did wear at least vest and tie ... and apron or loose shop coat, to work on their machine tools, that were all driven by belts coming down from jackshafts in the ceilings. There wasn't a safe square foot in the whole plant, so might as well wear a tie .... well tucked!?!?
