Women Factory Workers of World War II

"It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob

 

Especially when you don't know what it's for

 

But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole

 

that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob

 

that makes the engines roar.

 

 

And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil

 

that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob

 

that's going to win the war."

The subject matter is interesting but the technical quality of these seventy year old pictures is just astonishing.

The quality really is amazing, I think most of them were taken by Alfred Palmer.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_T._Palmer Here are a few more of these moments in time.
