Circa 1925: Atwater Kent sweatshop photo
Take a look at this photo of a gazillion ladies in an Atwater Kent radio factory [circa 1925] in Philly, PA.
Seems they are assembling capacitors on motorized spooling equipment. This is a large 2300 x 1846 (893 KB) JPEG image. Warning: bandwidth alert http://www.shorpy.com/node/4785?size=_original This is a smaller 512 x 411 (65 KB) JPEG version of the same photo. http://www.shorpy.com/node/4785

I noticed her too. I bet she was a humdinger of a gal.
 She looks like she knew the photographer. Lucky guy.  I love industrial pictures, probably more than nature pics.

Take a look at this photo of the AK (Atwater Kent) radio factory, circa 1925! This factory was huge !!!!
Warning: big photo coming http://www.shorpy.com/node/3542?size=_original Is this the first portable boom box, circa 1930? It's an Atwater Kent radio toted on a two-wheeled cart. http://www.shorpy.com/node/1979 I love the depth and clarity of the photographs taken with these huge but simple cameras of this era. Outstanding photography.

The detail comes from the size of the negitive. Since the size of a grain of silver is the same size weather 35mm or 8X10 an 8X10 negitive has 53.33 times the number of grains to record the image on! try that with you digital.
The long panorama shot you see from that time period would have been shot with a Cuirut camera that had a curved film plane and the film was on a roll as the camera traversed an arc (geared head on the tripod) the light passed through a slot and exposed the film since the film plane matched the arc there is no lens distortion and the whole frame is in focus as they would line up the soliders or who ever on an arc again matching the film plane. When the photo was printed it could be 4 feet long and all of it be in the same plane of focus.

Nice photos. Proportions would match 8x10 format. Perhaps taken with a Kodak Wide Field Ektar; still a desirable lens today. You could get faster film today, but other than that, things have not improved much in large format B&W photography since then.

Women working in factories before union organization took place.
"Rosie the riveter" worked hard to change that! Many people today take it for granted that everyone gets a decent wage. Back then it was "work, or make way for the next employee"!!! Regards, Ron
