    The Comforts Committee of the U.S. Navy League sponsored a knitting bee in the Mall, Central Park on July 29th to August 1st, 1918. This appears to be part of a set of photos of that event. Mrs. Satterlee was Chairman of the committee. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D04E2D6103BEE...

    Bolted to the table is a Circular Sock Machine, specifically, an Auto-Knitter, manufactured by the AutoKnitters & Hosiery Company of Buffalo, NY from 1916-1927. Identical machines were later manufactured/sold by several companies up to the 90s. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikewade/3025705455/] ". . . By mid-1918 the need for socks was so severe that the Red Cross begged knitters, “Don’t make sweaters … every pound of yarn that can be secured should be used for knitting socks” " from Knitting for Victory -- World War I

    Those men don't know how to knit. If they did know, they wouldn't hold the needles like that.
