Machinist - Hands on work 1904 Side by Side Youth T-Shirt

Colorized photo from 1904
Original Title: Tool room of the National Cash Register Co.
Location: Dayton, OH

This is one of the factory floors in the National Cash Register company. Everything was hands on for every single part, and there were a lot of parts. The stations seem to be set up as a specialty job, focusing on a single part or assembly. Each station has its own tool sets.

For the colors, this was going to have a brown theme. I chose tan for the aprons, because I thought it could use a bit of color, white was to stark, and they were darker then most shirts, so I think it was tinted.

I chose a green shade for the vises, while red would have worked, I didn't want all the attention on that. The floor and the red ceiling cogs should carry the eye to the back. I did jump around on the color of the machines, as they never seem to match.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
