A workman stands at a table guiding wire rope onto a cylindrical drawing machine lacking protective guards at The Waterbury Wire Cable Manufacturing Co. in Brooklyn, New York. One end of the cable trails off the table onto the floor. Behind the work table, a wire or fabric mesh separates this work area from the rest of the room. Silhouettes of other workers are visible through the mesh.
