Picture Parade 2…Guys And Dolls In Television At WBKB, Chicago

These pictures were taken during WW II and show how women stepped into jobs of all kinds across the country. Some here were engineers while others worked cameras and control room equipment. The cameras were made before the war at WBKB, as was the dolly that uses an old barber chair base to raise and lower the camera. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
