Gist inspector, Mrs. Mary Betchner inspecting one of the 25 cutters for burrs before inserting it in the inside of a 105mm. howitzer at the Milwaukee, Wis. plant of the Chain Belt Co. Her son is in the army; her husband is in war work (LOC)

    She doesn't look a day older than 25.

    Something about that caption doesn't quite ring true. The dimensions and near-center mount are consistent with the *barrel* of an M2A1 or M101 howitzer. Note that the left end is turned down, which is characteristic of the breach end of the weapon. She's using a micrometer to check a boss or flange of the outer diameter near the center mounting point, which is already greater than the roughly 4" ID of the barrel. No "cutters" are evident, so there's no way one could be inserted *into* the barrel. The castellated sleeve is probably internally threaded and engages the external threads seen on the barrel directly behind her.

    inspector23, Photographers are not engineers.

    I've found in military history research that many anomalies and aberrations occur between the photograph and the caption. "Kurtz" said it best - "Photographers are not engineers".

    Food inspection. This man is using a pitchfork to inspect a heap of potatos. Location unknown.

    Waarom zou'ie de greep omkeren? Om een eventueel verstopt persoon niet te verwonden?
  • Servee Schellinx said:
    Ja daar lijkt het wel op.........alhoewel omgekeerde greep.....niet goed te zien op de foto
  • Jacob g said:
    "Je keert het om zodat je de aardappelen niet steekt maar wel omroer om tussen de aardappels rond te kijken en zien of ze goed zijn!" Translation, "You use the pitchfork (carefully) upside down using only the handle to stir the potato's around to inspect them!" Apparently a pitchfork was the only long handle tool available to theguy :-)

    @jacob g: Logisch, dat moet het zijn. Dit is waarschijnlijk een greep zonder handgreep (is het dan nog een greep ;-)

    A wiring harness test bench designed for a very specific part of a harness. Nicely staged, but the test appartus is not turned on.
