1970 Thigh Tech - Biax Drive Assembly - Model Not Included - Out Goes the Old

Can't sell an industrial product without including a model's thigh in the photo. An original 8x10 glossy print with a description on back. In the spirit of the traditional sexist garage calendar for tractors and motorcycles. Taken by a professional photographer "before my time" - found in a roomful of file cabinets I was assigned to clear out (after reviewing). After a round of massive "out placement", I was about the last employee left that could quickly evaluate the "business need" for retention.

 

Virtually everything else ended up in the "circular file". Needed to call housekeeping several times a day for a week to take away filled barrels and bring new ones.

 

Still looking for the photo labelled "Ball Screw* " with the same model standing with the long thin product strategically placed.

 

* A type of translational (in-out) actuator.

 

"No models were harmed in taking this photo" - she felt honored to be asked to pose.
