More intriguing photos YT. Are they all go the same engineering works or could there be several?

I would agree with Ron that the high numbers of women workers point to during WWII.  Also the style of clothing.

First picture looks like they are producing some sort of decorative concrete panel  ???

I'm no engineering expert but whatever is going on in #5 the thing is moving or vibrating.

I think several on page one are maybe in Japan - or some other Asian place.  The photos look different don't they and the people also.

?? 34, 58 and 60??


Has someone already made that observation??

Another great find YT!    ;)

I can sort of see what you mean Wiggy, but I'm not convinced about it being in Japan. I'd go with the UK at this point.

Sorry, it is a copy mill. The top probe is following the contour,s of the pattern and the bottom milling cutter is machining the same contours into the workpiece. The blur you are alluding to when you say vibrating is because of  my scanning technique ::)

All same place I think, not Japan. All slides are of the same set.

Hi, definitely a very large works assuming they were all at the same place which I suspect they are, where was the car boot sale? if the slides stayed in the same area there could be a clue there.
