  This looks like a tension load test on the pylon. Notice the hydraulic cylinders, a load cell above each one, a power supply and load cell readout in the foreground. Note the chalk marking for forward and tail on the girder at right. Please feel free to correct any bogus comments in the comments below.

  According to Wikipedia there was a "Wendy the Welder" descriptor/archetype, but like Wikipedia tends to do, there's no supporting information.

  I met Wendy when she was volunteering on board the SS Jeremiah O'Brien back in the 80s she signed a postcard version of he poster for my niece. There were more welders than riveters in WWII.
