Woman Polishing Torpedo at McCormick Works
A female factory worker wearing safety glasses uses what appears to be a piece of sandpaper to polish a torpedo part at International Harvester's McCormick Works. Her face is visible through the hole in the torpedo. The original caption reads, "This woman employee at McCormick Works apparently has chosen the hard way of polishing a tail cone assembly of aircraft torpedo." |
