Worker at International Harvester's 20 mm Gun Plant
A factory worker operates a vertical broaching machine at International Harvester's 20 (Twenty) millimeter gun plant. Original caption reads: "Vertical broaching is the method followed for making slide grooves and bedding faces on the top surface of the breech block. In this operation an American vertical broaching machine is used. The pieces are fed in one at a time and the ram comes down fast. By this method the pieces hold their size." |
