Default Life Mag, 1940 issue, on US tool making industry.

Folx,

If any of you are into history, you might know Google has made
available, via Google Books, very nice, high-rez scans of Life Mag
from 1930 onward.

And even if u r not a history buff, you might still like this article:

Go to page 84 and enjoy it !

That is un-believable. This could be a great historical
bonanza for those into such. It would be even greater
if it were indexed.
