Description
Colorized photo from 1916
Original title: A US munitions plant
Photographer: National Photo Company
Location: Unknown
I couldn't find anything about this company, other than it was probably shot in Washington DC. They made munitions by hand. 3 to 4 people per bench. Not much in safety gear, but these were the pioneers of that, their limb and eye loss are our gain I guess. At least most of them have bow ties on, and have the sleeves rolled up. Except for that one guy. For some reason I always seem to come across a pair of shoes in a machine shop. I doubt its for luck, but it seems to be a common theme for this trade to put your shoes on the table, or window sill in this case.
