She looks like she has actually been working.
Well, sorta, maybe. An empty face plate in the lathe. A dead stationary spindle. An absence of traces of coolant. An absence of chips on the machine. No tooling in the turret. Arms that are way too dirty for a face that is clean. A staged photo if there ever was one, but it certainly represents the feelings of the time.

Look down by her left hand.
Yep, I finally saw the Y axis way, I'm still curious as to what make that mill is.
This gets mixed up but we had an earlier discussion. I don't recall her name but "she" was often dressed as a man with coveralls. This person was always around a certain machine and it was a huge vertical SLOTTER. Heck, it wasn't that long ago. Do not I remember the huge turntable they were standing on? I wasn't there, of course but remember the earlier discussion and pictures.

As many know the inspiration for Rosie the RIveter has died, but why do they keep calling
the machine in the picture of Naomi Parker Fraley is working on a lathe when it's a MILL !
I've been hunting around to see the picture of her working on a turret lathe and the same
picture comes up of her working on a MILL.
