Description
Photograph of the training of employees in a company room, ca.1940. A man in a dark shirt demonstrates something on a table, as a group of men and women look in. A man in a light-colored shirt and bow tie leans against the table at right, while others stand behind him. In the background, chart tables are drawn up against the wall, and part of a calendar can be seen at left, before a shelved area. A stack of papers sits on a table at the right-hand corner of the foreground.
Photoprint reads "Red schoolhouse -- company style, offers continuous 'on the job' training for consolidated engineering corporation employees. Subjects include blueprint reading, shop math and quality control and inspection techniques. (above) Al Bryson, course coordinator, explains plate gage set-up to mechanical inspection division members in "consolodated college of applied knowledge".
