This photo op is a joke. The reason Bill is smiling is because there's no way he's going to get that sock on the looping machine without missing a needle hole. The fact that he standing is even more ridiculous. Loopers sat down at their machines.
Photo 369 shows Phil Emma with Mr. Somero (I think Eino was his first name). I worked with him.
I was wrong, I think Bill is seated. Photos 366 and 367 are of the mating area. The photo of the knitters was before my time there. You have to admire those woman tending the knitting machines on their feet for 8 hrs.
I worked there for a number of years and I had forgotten how large and productive this business was!
364 is Bill Thayer
