Pride on the Kodachrome Platform

Since we recently saw the final end for Kodachrome, I thought I'd mark the occasion by sharing this photo with the Shorpy community. My first job out of college in 1973 was as a Kodachrome Process Control Analyst for Berkey Photo at 77 E. 13th St. in Manhattan. 
Here are two processor operators spooling Super 8 Kodachrome film off K-12 #6, a Houston Fearless machine. The left hand operator's hand is resting on the take off end of the processor, ready to apply the reel brake when the reel was full. The large panel to the right contained temperature controls, filters and circulation pumps. I was there for the transition from K-12 to K-14, and I can still rattle off the processing steps at the drop of a hat. If someone would care to drop a hat, I'll demonstrate. View full size.
