Women in industry. Aircraft motor workers. Youthful Paderewskis, take note! Her finger made superbly flexible by years of piano practice, this young employee of a Midwest aircraft motor plant finds her musical training of great assistance in her war job. The operation of this drill press demands constant, rapid hand and wrist movement–and that’s where those hours of do-re-mi are paying dividends. She’s countersinking six holes in a bolt, an operation requiring great precision, speed and skill. Office of War Information, August 1942.
