Photos Of Old Workshops 100 Years Ago - Kennyv - 05-29-2015
Hope you guys don't mind me posting someone recently posted this on another forum and I thought it was worth sharing.
First few pics are the office workers but than it moves on to the foundries and next the shops .
Boy Allot of heritage there . I believe most pics are from early 1900's . If ya have the time Definitely worth a look
JMHO It is simply amazing how we engineered things back than .. and Boy every thing was big
Enjoy

Fantastic collection of photos, the last dated 1957 reminds me a lot the factory where I was a turner in 1969.
Thank you very much.
Friendly Michel

Would that be the Old Human Society?

Yep, all the unguarded flat belts from the line shafts, no safety glasses, long sleeves, smoke filled foundry's, etc. The "good ol' days", right?

Us Old folks remember the black and whites.
Nice group of pics. Thanks, Ken.
Lathe production, slick!
So, Ed, if you were in the frozen north,
OHS could be Ontario Humane Society.
Just a thought.
How does one collect 6 or 7 stars?
I managed to gleen 2 just for showing up.
Sweet!

Not general manager.

I still refer to Occupational Health and Safety as OHS. I don't know why they decided to change it to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). I have to deal with a certain department here regularly that has changed its name about four times in the past few years. It just serves to annoy me and keep the stationary printers employed...

Hah!
My dad was a Linotype printer. Molten lead, no safety anything.
No regs. Save us from ourselves!!
Dang government .
Oops.
Since I'm a newbie, am I stepping over the lines?
If so, pls tell me.
Sorry, lads. Too close to home.
Over and out for now.
