Awesome stuff, always blows my mind whenever I see pics like this.

The lack of P.P.E. freaks me out.

Yeah, you'd think they would at least have a face shield or glasses, or any type of eye protection......and some gloves too.... Jobsite safety just wasn't a priority, nor requirement, back then...

:hysterical:

Yes. The lack of safety glasses at the least is pretty crazy. Did they have steel toes back then?

Good find. Cool pics. It makes me miss working in a machine shop.

I do not know how many of you have had to pleasure of starting a cut in the middle of a plate of steel with an oxy-acetolene torch before, but on the 12" plate still had to suck even with a tracked torch.

Reminds me of the old Charleston Naval Shipyard Machine Shop.

What is a ton?

Women working on automobiles. That is comical. :hide:

I was more focused on the guy smoking a cigarette with food and drinks next to the line while working on a Terminator motor.

You should post that up in that 5.0 vs Cobra debate lol

Nah

At least his job isnt very important... they could have just hired a monkey to attatch the k member bolts.

That's got to be an e-cigarette right? No way he'd be smoking in a ford factory would he?

Lucky hes not taking a hit of a big ass bong.

Its awesome to see this stuff. Its amazing what we can do today, but seeing them do it with no technology is staggering
