    Great photos, Morrisman.

    Not quite the same era, but takes me back to the 80's when I first visited the government Ordnance and Ammunition factories.

    They do look rather serious.

    The lathe in pic2 with the group of RAAF trainees is a 1930s Colchester geared head Master or Triumph.
