Workers on the Rambler Assembly Line: Kenosha Wisconsin
February 12, 2018
Today’s circa 1958-’60 human interest photos are from a set taken of workers on the full-sized Rambler assembly line located at the American Motors plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Toiling away on one of these lines, depending on the job is both hard, tedious and mind-numbing to do day in, day out while standing on hard concrete floors. During the summer months factory workers also have to endure mid-western heat waves accompanied by high humidity.
The lead image contains a woman and a man sitting on stools assembling parts in the headlight area while a second woman standing in the middle is performing a separate task. Four enlargeable photos below show a man spot welding panels of the body together in a rear wheel well, and others working on subassemblies and different parts of the cars.
