Women Factory Workers in Torpedo Plant
| A long line of female factory workers operating drill presses in an International Harvester aircraft torpedo plant. Original caption reads: "A battery of 16 small, single spindle, sensitive drill presses operated by women employees. Women are especially adaptable at this type of machine operation because their sensitive fingers and delicate feel and touch enable them to handle the small parts more skillfully than men operators." |
