Barn Boards

Photos from the Burton production barn in Manchester including a “to-do list” and inventory for putting together an early board. If one was slacking on the job, they were often relegated to the unpopular task of grinding fins. The job simply labeled as “dip” required respirators, plastic suits and a sealed room. Giving the workers a sensation equal to that of sniffing glue, they were often given a mandatory time out on the front lawn before the handling any heavy machinery.
