Now that can’t be comfortable for 8 plus hours a day. Girls and their fashion.

I would have thought they used a brush for the striping. funny that they just built wheels on a table. modern wheels are built with a big fancy machine so one person can do the job of 20.

And now everybody knows what tool to use for pinstriping their Schwinn restorations to be proper! And the proper attire to wear while doing it! Lol.

Thank you so much balloontyre for finding and posting the pictures. I'm a retired electronic technician, had a business and in my experience women were better workers than guys for the most part. Best technician I ever had was my wife. She also has built engines, loves rebuilding carburetors, etc.
I doubt we would have won WWII without women workers building stuff here.

When they did the frames, thinking cycletruck, then what? Would imagine more free hand needed on the frame.
Not surprised to see the Beugler. Such a wonderful tool. Easy to use, too.

The lady welder with the Honey Boy gloves totally blows my preconceived notion of the Schwinn factory.
I've always called my bikes 'she' and 'her' and now I know why!
