Description
Photograph of women workers handling panels of coils in an unidentified electronics office, ca.1950. At center, a group of four women can be seen huddled around one of the ends of a large rectangular table. The three women around the sides of the table can be seen sitting on a large stool, while the woman on the end of the table is seen standing over her equipment. At the center of the table, two large slanted boxes are seen. One of the boxes is shown carrying nine smaller boxes filled with various pins and wires. Across from the two women seen in the foreground, a small panel with a raised axle at its center can be seen. The axle supports part of a square panel, and several coils are visible hanging from the panel. Also on the side of the table, a small wooden attachment holding two sets of pliers and a screwdriver can be seen for each woman. The woman on the end of the table is seen gripping a small cylindrical object in her hands while standing over the panel of coils. A small metallic cylinder is also visible hanging near the edge of the table. In the extreme foreground, a large wooden box is seen supporting a smaller wooden box and a rag. In the extreme background, a large line of overhead lights are visible.
