Description
Photograph of two factory women workers examining cylindrical components, ca.1930. At center, two women can be seen huddling around a small table in front of a machine. The woman sitting in the chair wears a white blouse with a design over the front pocket. She is also seen wearing a darkly-colored skirt, and her hair is tied up in a bun. The woman standing next to her is seen wearing a striped shirt and captain's hat. The hat has a small emblem on its front. In front of the women on the table, a small machine can be seen. On both sides of the machine, spinning metal disks are visible. The woman seated in the chair can be seen clutching a small cylindral, hollow component near the spinning disk. Beside the machine in the foreground, several small cylindrical components can be seen. Additional components can also be seen to the right of the machine near a pair of glasses. Above the machine, a small desk lamp and shade are clearly visible. In the extreme foreground on the right, a pair of wooden crutches can be seen.
