Coil winding section E, Westinghouse works - From the Library of Congress

In 1904, Westinghouse Companies created a series of short, silent movies depicting various enterprises.

In this two-minute video, rows of neatly coiffed women are shown at tables with winding machines. Using material from spools behind them, they wind electrical apparently putting the finished products on the table in front of them. Various supervisory staff, male and female, walk through the aisles, checking the work.
