Take a good look at the footwear worn by the woman working by the cockpit door. I doubt those heels would be OSHA approved today. The work environment was sure different back then.

She and the dude in white look more like the receptionist and the janitor were added to the composition so it would look like they had more than the 3 guys actually dressed like mechanics available

Dirty working environment. I would not like to work at that plant, but that was acceptable back then. No wonder peoples life expectancy was shorter than today.

Info on what's on the record is available at JPL's site https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/golden-record/ there's a staggering amount of data encoded on it, all analog.

The music had a clear bias: Bach had three selections, Beethoven two and 'Dark Side of the Moon' was snubbed Boo!

Blacksmiths probably, carpenters probably not.

They need the blacksmith to fabricate logging tools and equipment such as ax, hook, chain, crowbar, log dolly, etc.

You DO NOT want to mess with that guy holding the hammer. That is not a small hammer. Look at his hand. It appress he is holding it with just 3 fingers. It does appear he has it leaning against his chest a little, but still that is a big hammer!!!

Defiinitely not a carpenters hammer.
