The thirty-six men needed to fly and service a B-17E, 1942. No way to account those who built plane, engines, weaponry, wheeled equipment, uniforms, fuel, concrete...(and all the tiers below producing beforehand!)...
It matters not; war material or consumer goods, this is how a real economy prospers.
Not cubicle gophers of a service model economy.

Wood Shop. Loved it...
Is that a 4 FOOT bandsaw back there? Wow . . .
Left handed bandsaw...
Nah, it's set up the way MOST bandsaws are...I did have a left hander and it was a pain in the backside? I reckon that's a 30", just like the Crescent I learned on...I bought the left hander, because it was a 28", but ended up selling it...now I'm waiting on myself to build Mathias Wandel's 18"...best light a fire under my arse...Cheers

I dont know what you class a LH saw but that is set up the way every metal and wood bandsaw I ever used.
Why so many wood lathes? Was turning a hard skill to teach? I recall our school's woodshed, we had 3 lathes, a thickness planer, table saw, 2 bandsaws, a mortising machine, 2 drill presses, 1 scroll saw and a grinder. 6 5'x5' work stations with 4 vises each and a bunch of hand tools.
It is not so hard to learn wood turning, it just takes more time to complete a task on a lathe. Considerably longer that the other tools you mention in your list. There are 14 students in that photo. During the time 6 students may be using the lathes, the other 8 would easily have time to use 1 bandsaw, as typically those cuts are quickly made and you move on to something different.
Im excellent at making sawdust.
Appears a 36". That pattern before and sometime past was typical of many brands, possibly re-branded from a single machine builder. I've a Moak, probably had identical guarding when it was young. Top of upper wheel well over 8 feet high, direct 5hp drive ~850 RPM; serious FPM with 36" wheels. A similar machine is named Crescent, and more common.Quote:

You can smell the cutting oil...
Since they are a screw company, the screw machines are staggered that way in order to feed long stock into each one. Probably the job of younger workers was to keep each machine supplied with material.
Hard to imagine what it was like to work in those conditions. (no or little lighting, lack of ventilation, loud machines, etc)
When setting up an operation such as the screw machine shop in post 1815 Had they installed the main overhead drive shaft at a few degrees angle then the machines could have been canted at an angle as well this would have allowed all of them to have been set up on an imaginary centerline they would have still had an offset relative to the next machine for bar feeding and loading but the isle ways would have been the same width from one end to the other of the workshop material flow both incoming and out going would have had a much smoother pathway

If the Japanese had had rational leadership simply sending them a copy of that picture would have ended the war.
oops...somebody forgot to paint some of the stealth paint on some parts.
My dad was a bombardier on the B29 during WWII as a 1st Lt in the Army Air Corps.
I heard lots of stories as a kid.
My mom was a final inspector of the engines, also interesting stories.

The original builders used no steel...
Just like in the 'timey days!
Plenty of demonstrations to lift without any tackle, jacking [or wedging] alternate ends, and raising immense blocks incrementally as they teeter.
I have limited equipment of actual rigging; but have moved up to 10k pounds with foosball shafts, pinch bars and simple band-sawn aluminum wedges. Eventually I'll make or purchase skates, but those require toe jacks for added height to insert.
Foosball shafts are only about 5/8" 16mm diameter....
All of this to reset to Daylight Savings Time?
When we first built it we dug a hole and drop the rocks in drag the others on top then removed the spoil around them easy as, di another one in Devon and one in Lincolnshire. The bosses couldn’t manage their arses over a hole in the ground, so to speak. all ya needed was some good horses for all the poop ive just come out with.
To come back to earth for a moment - there is four stone circles ive heard of in the UK but stone henge is the most publically know and thanks to some dodgy builders back in 1914 the most complete. made very popular by hippies and druids and now a huge rock concert at Glastonbury. The "A" (A39) road running passed it has a history all of its own, it’s like the oldest road or something - vintage car enthusiasts love it for some nostalgic reasoning.

well they sure look happy...and look at the guys behind them.
At least 7 guys just standing around while the ladies do the work.
I think the guys in the back are the Lever brothers.
Jim - what all of them lol
Lever Brothers spoil a photo op. That's jacked up.
Lol.
But the Nederlandertje en Nederlandse are interesting enough.
Well sure; that happens with good clean living...Quote:
