This image is amazing in it's softness of light, femininity and depth juxtaposed against the hard work and grittiness of the subject.

No doubt a brilliant photo but I’m inclined to think that it was staged. The headstock of the capstan lathe is fitted with a face plate, normally used for securing odd shapes or castings where a collet or chuck would not be appropriate. There is no jig or clamps attached to it and the capstan itself does not seem to have any tool blocks fitted to it. I’d hazard a guess that the picture was taken while the machine was being set up.

Those things sticking out like spines are called "Cleco" fasteners; spring-loaded clips used for holding thin sheets together while riveting.

Is this photo staged? I does not look like there is a set in the rivet gun. Also I wonder if it was common for women doing that kind of work to wear that much makeup. Dave

Whether for publicity or actual, the quintessential Rosie The Riveter, that helped put em in the air. God bless the American Women that came out of the kitchen and into the workforce when the Country needed her; couldn't have done without her.
