Women workers riveting a bomber fuselage, Hudson Motor Car Company
View of women workers riveting the bulkhead of a bomber fuselage at the Hudson Motor Car Company factory. Label on back: "Kitchens or bombers. Aluminum means pots and pans in the kitchen to most women, but to these workers in the Airframe Division of the Hudson Motor Car Company it is the material out of which they fabricate bomber fuselage sections that will help win the war. Shown riveting a bulkhead are, Mrs. Betty Steinacker (left) of 4111 Drexel Avenue and Mrs. Emily Toth of 946 Conners Avenue, Detroit. Mrs. Steinacker formerly operated a drill press in Hudson automobile plants and Mrs. Toth was a spot welder. Hudson's training schools are preparing more than 1,000 women, formerly employed in automobile manufacture, for war production work." Handwritten on back: "Women workers."
