Thanks so much for the photos. Interesting to note, the one picture with the "lines" of milling machines. Notice only one guy in between each of the lines of four or five machines? When I was a machinist in the 70s we had one "operator" per machine. I talked once to an old guy who had been a machinist during the depression who spoke of having to run multiple machines at once. You had to start a cut on one and then while the cut was being made you went on to the next and so on. You can see that in this photo, that is why there is only one guy per each of the machines in that line.
