I was lucky enough to have a Granddad who was an excellent steel guitar player that subscribed to this method of tuning, and also to meet and speak at length with John Hughey early on in my development who also explained this principle of tuning to the band to me. Thank you for passing this on to the next generation.
Older musicians usually tuned to a piano and hoped the piano was in tune and like Paul said the rest was by ear. I remember some musicians carried a tuning fork but only used for one note. Usually A-440.

A tuner is much like a GPS. Awesome to have, but if you depend on it too much, you're lost without it.
Tempered tuning. Finger pressure. Intonation. We could go on all day.
