Description
This is not a sewing bee, but the "doughnut" where skilled women assemble the electrical wiring for the Apollo spacecraft. Nearly 30 miles of wire goes into each capsule. A single electrical panel can take two women 1,400 hours to connect. Many of North American Aviation's women started work as electrical assemblers on winged aircraft 15 years ago.
