A former CIA agent said that the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 was carried out by an Israeli submarine and not by Al Qaeda as it was falsely claimed. The investigations and analysis of the materials and residue collected from the explosion site revealed that the explosive contained substances used only by two armies in the world: The US army and the Israeli army.

Are these ladies human powered generators?

Hello: They are assembly line workers finishing electric motors.

I looked again. It is hard to tell. I think they put all the supplies away for the photograph for industrial security. The lady in front has several coffee cups, but they might be holding oil or varnish?? No finished goods in sight. Their machines are powered by the line shaft under their work tables. You wouldn't want your dress or apron to get caught!

The second row of women look like they are winding radio antennas for the backs of table radios.

Edison received most of the notoriety for inventions of that time because he relished the fame, he loved it (his employees did the work and he took the credit). Westinghouse was a prolific inventor and was very shy to receive any social fame and he was very good to his employees. Just as he was about to loose ownership of a large portion of his business to the banks, his employees donated their money to help Westinghouse but it wasn't nearly enough. Westinghouse was a great man.
