English woman worker (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Retired at last said:
    Since I can't add notes to the image. There is a steam engine behind the worker, you can see its flywheel. The machines are belt driven from shafts turned by the steam engine. There are about 4 pieces of wood clamped for drilling simultaneously. The pieces drilled previously have been posed on the bench to illustrate what she is doing. There appears to be a tally chalked on the side of the machine.

    plus she's standing in an enormous pile of drillings... open belts, flying splinters, no interfering shields of any kind.. no dangers here OSHA! move along...

    Oyida Peaks looks so strong and independent, yet glamorous while she rivets! She has perfect posture and poise as she does a so called "man's job" during World War II.

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