[quote=Jan in VA]I was thinking how well groomed and attentive these students -- were compared to ours today....until I read down the comments list and discovered it was a staged photo shoot! Pooh!

Perhaps not really staged, just a little. Most of the comments say that most of the machines have to have the belts put on them before using. Each girl had to learn how to set up their machines.

About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
