Title: What exactly are these men doing? Post by butlersrangers on Apr 22nd, 2018 at 1:58pm
This WW1 vintage photograph shows some assembly or inspection process going on. The 1903 rifles are almost complete.
The Vise appears to have a 'block' that may hold a rifle via the magazine-well. There is a screwdriver, brace & bit, and machinist hammer visible on the work-bench. There is a pile of parts (bolts, followers, magazine floor-plates, rear-sights?) on the bench. The first workman has an odd shaped tool or device in his right-hand. Is he gauging, inspecting, assembling, or striking an inspector's 'cartouche'? Is the butt of the rifle in some 'cup like' holder? Pictures can generate more questions than answers! |
