You had to clamp the roller skates to your shoes. |

| As kids I remember when one of the sure signs of spring was the sight of children digging out their metal roller skates and searching for the skate key – that elusive tool, with a socket wrench on one end to open and close the clamp that gripped the shoe at the front end of the skates and a hex-wrench on the other end to lengthen or shorten the single metal frame of the skate, that was `put away for safe keeping’ last fall. |
