First thing I thought, too. No eye protection, no hearing protection, open belts, no finger/hand guards on the forging presses, loose sleeves...Yikes! How many did they lose in those shops.
And what mind-numbing work. I would go mad before lunch on my first day.
Those were Stamping presses, not forging, and yes, a lot of lost fingers in those days. I have pictures in my office of our ladies assembling 20,30 & 50 round Thompson sub mags, just like in the video with the ladies assembling the Browning mags.
