1950s
B&W

A man changes a hub cap on a wheel and tests its vibration and how it needs to be adjusted and balanced. Textile fibers are measured by a funky gauge. Light waves are measured. Outrageously strange gauges. Rows of women sat at benches, assembling electronic equipment. Large satellite dishes used in telemetry - measuring size of the Earth.
