    Richard Norton Thank you for the link. We think of Rosie the Riveter from WWII as paving the way for women in the workplace, 25 years after this.

    Date scribbled on negative seems to be 3/22/18. I noticed the box at bottom left with printing on it, hoping for some clue as to which plant this is. But it's a box labeled "Gordon & Co. Dry Gin"!

    FWIW, boxes at left have printing: *** Jones Speedometer, New Rochelle, NY books.google.com/books?id=u9FMAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA43&lp... has an article from Machinery, Volume 20, Sept. 1913, with pictures of equipment used to manufacture the speedometers. Some of this equipment looks similar to equipment in this series of pictures. *** British Munitions Co., Ltd, Kings Park, Verdun, Que [Canada] American Machinist, Volume 49, August 29, 1918 books.google.com/books?id=i-49AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA410-IA11&... confirms the existence of the company and indicates it had a "shell factory." But these probably don't help identify the plant photographed here.
