Summary

edit
Description Lot 1895-18: “A Poster Comes to Life”. This photograph, one is series, shows Sergeant French L. Vineyard, USA; George Woolslayer, welder; and Aviation Radio Chief John Marshall Evans, USN, at the Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Mill, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania, during the process of the creation of a WWII poster that they posed for. Note Chief Evans wore an E-6 and below uniform due to the poster image. Shown: “This is what I call warm hospitality,” said Chief Radioman Evans in his dry Georgia manner as the three men stood in 140 degrees of heat looking into the open door of an electrical steel furnace. The furnace makes silica steel which is is used to make transformer cores. Some of Evan’s radio equipment, back at his base, uses transformers whose cores may well have come from this furnace.
