Think This is a Propaganda Photo?

Love those uniforms!!! I think that's the cleanest, nicest metal shop I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.

[All of the OWI pictures were "propaganda photos." If you mean staged or fake, the answer is no. Ann Rosener, who specialized in science and tech- nology photography, took dozens of pictures at Republic Drill & Tool. - Dave]
